What Schools and Parents Appreciate About It: This program develops "real-world" experiences for students, because it teaches students the most sought-after skills for top universities/employers — collaboration, problem-solving and leadership skills. This program can take the chaos of group projects and create effective teamwork, as it teaches students how to manage conflict, delegate and hold each other accountable, thereby decreasing frustration for both students and their teachers.

This program contains a complete, ready-to-use unit with all elements for no prep for teaching educators — including detailed theories, worksheets, visual resources and comprehensive teacher guides to support educators in teaching these essential skills with confidence. Target Classes of Attendees (Students): The target audience for the worksheets can be classified as follows: 1. Primary Target: High School Students (Grades 10-12). The worksheets contain advanced vocabulary and concepts presented in detailed scenarios appropriate for Grade 10-12 students who are preparing for or currently enrolled in AP, IB, Honors, or Gifted/Talented programs. The content, therefore, would be too complex for younger students (Grades 9 and below) or students in Special Education; whereas, the content is sufficiently challenging for 8+, 12+ grade-level of students but the activities/situations are not directly related to those students. 2. Secondary Target: First-Year College/University Students. The worksheets could be used as supplemental materials for freshman seminar courses, introductory business/engineering courses, and any program that emphasizes group projects. 3. Niche Target: Teacher Professional Development.

Are you ready to go further than just a simple "piggy" bank lesson and actually give your students the skills they need for the real world? This complete, integrated Money Management Unit is filled with lots of tools to develop your students into well-rounded, professional "Young Scholars" by learning how to use the basic concepts of applied microeconomics in creative ways that meet the unique developmental abilities of both upper elementary and middle school students. The Money Management Unit is not a pack of worksheets; it is a full set of easy-preparation teaching materials that will help you develop a lasting understanding of financial literacy within your students. By using a structured, three-phase approach, this resource will help students gain a better understanding of the more complicated topics related to making good choices when it comes to spending or saving money through the use of opportunity cost; and will give them all the tools they need to manage the way they spend or save their money, from using an allowance to saving up for something they want to buy (zero‐based budget). WHAT'S AVAILABLE IN THIS SET OF 33 PAGES OF MATERIAL: PHASE 1: The Textbook: Applied Microeconomics for Young Scholars: A comprehensive but user-friendly resource for learning about many topics related to economics. The textbook covers the following topics: Income and Outflow: What is an allowance? What is entrepreneurship (using the example of a lemonade stand)? What's the difference between Needs and Wants? Budgeting Strategies: How do you use a "Zero-Based Budget" and the Spend, Save, and Share Approach? The Psychology of Saving: Delayed gratification, SMART goal setting, and the math of compound interest. The Economics of Choice: Understanding opportunity cost and consumer traps (e.g., Gamified Value in in-app purchases). PHASE 2: Student Workbook (10 Rigorous Worksheets): Worksheets which reinforce the concepts presented in the Textbook. Students are provided an opportunity to practice through hands-on activities in the areas of: Analyzing Revenue and Expenditures Making Decisions about Needs versus Wants Creating and Balancing a Ledger Calculating Savings Goals and Timelines Evaluating Opportunity Cost Recording Daily Transactions Understanding Emergency Funds and Unit Pricing Final Project: Create a Budget from Scratch! Phase 3: Teacher Resources (Visual Aids & Answer Key) 3 Visual Aids That Are Clear & Easy To Use! Perfect on a smart board or printed poster style (or printed out as handouts), these three docs provide simple visuals of how to create a budget, set goals and make impulse purchases so that students can see their financial decisions. An Answer Key Containing All Calculations & Rationale Is Ready For Use! A full key has been created for each of the ten worksheets so grading each student work will be easy. These two items can be used by any classroom and a great teaching resource to provide math centres, economics unit, life skills classes or by parents who want to give their child an early advantage through financial literacy. Why do Parents/Schools love: - The unit not only gives students the mechanics of counting money but explores how to think about money by teaching about core economic principles (opportunity cost, behavioral economics). - The entire unit is in one PDF file and provides a full resource package (textbook, 10 worksheets, various visual aids and full answer key). All materials are ready to print and teach - no planning time is wasted! - Students will have exposure to real-world experiences that will help them to connect abstract concepts to their everyday life through relatable case studies and scenarios such as saving for sneakers, managing their allowance & avoiding getting trapped in the arcade. - The psychology behind financial decisions is addressed and students are provided with tools for delayed gratification, goal setting (S.M.A.R.T.) and impulse control which will serve them throughout their lives. - The unit provides a wide range of options that can be tailored for any type of student. The rigor of the lesson is appropriate for gifted programs while the clear structure and answer key provides a high level of support for whole-group lessons or independent learning. Target Market (Student Classes): Based on the content's terminology ("applied microeconomics", "cognitive architecture") and concepts addressed, the following target audiences should be: Primary Target Market: Students in 5th and 6th Grade. The material is abstract in nature and at the appropriate developmental stage of maturation for these grades, as addressed in the Introductory Section provided in the PDF.

It is an unfortunate reality that one single leak of your passwords can lead to the theft of thousands of dollars from your savings account. It is also a frightening truth that your Smart TV can watch everything you do, and that Deepfake technology exists that is able to imitate your voice with ease. The above facts alone leave an overwhelming amount of people in a vulnerable position in relation to their personal digital security. This is the purpose of the 278-page "Digital Fear is Real" guide. This guide was created with the sole purpose of providing an in-depth, complete, and easy-to-understand reference tool for every aspect of your digital life. This tool covers everything, from passwords and mobile devices to social media, smart home technology, child safety issues, financial fraud, AI-driven threats, and estate planning. This guide goes beyond the typical frightening articles that do not provide real answers or to the overly technical books that require a computer science degree to understand. This book provides you with a complete step-by-step system that will allow you to protect yourself without having to spend a lot of time to achieve this goal. You'll Learn: * How to use password managers and passkeys * How to set up two-factor authentication to effectively stop hackers * How to secure your router and home network with six easy steps * How to protect your children from predators, cyber-bullying, and "sharing" * What you need to do to recover from identity theft and create an actionable recovery plan * How to install and use safe communication channels such as Signal, VPNs, Tor, and encrypted email * A 30-day privacy transformation plan to secure your digital world In addition to all the information contained in the guide, there are also many charts comparing different items, checklists, infographics, and a comprehensive appendix that contains a list of tools that every computer user needs to have. Why Parents (And Schools) are all in: Chapters Addressing the Child Safety Issues that Affect Parents and Adults in General, Including… Cyberbullying, online predators, sharenting, and children's digital footprint – all described in clear, no-nonsense, actionable terms.

The Chapters Address Many of the Most Urgent Problems Facing Today's Children Including AI Voice Cloning, Deep Fakes, and TikTok Data Collection... so that they are prepared for whatever potential risk they may encounter this year. Create Lifelong Digital Citizens: Instead of merely providing a list of rules to abide by; through an ongoing mindset established throughout the children in their formative years/education process, parents will help their children learn to make thoughtful and responsible decisions independently of parents or other adults.

This complete resource for anxiety management & stress relief using breathing exercise worksheets includes everything needed for middle school students. It is designed to be both printable (digital/electronic) and neuroscience-based and consists of 41 pages of student worksheets, real-world case studies, fill in the blank knowledge checks and numerous practical breathing protocols (Box Breathing, 4-7-8 Breath, Resonant Breathing, Physiological Sigh, Extended Exhale, Alternate Nostril Breathing and 5-4-3-2-1 Sensory Grounding) along with teacher answer keys, conceptual visuals and a full trauma informed implementation guide. This curriculum teaches students in 6th, 7th and 8th grades to interrupt amygdala hijacks, switch from the sympathetic "fight, flight or freeze" to the parasympathetic "rest and digest" and develop lifelong emotional resilience through the science of somatic agency, vagus nerve stimulation, neuroplasticity and autonomic nervous system regulation. This PDF product is perfect for school counseling, advisory periods, special education and homeschool implementation. There is no prep work necessary for immediate implementation in the classroom or at home. Keywords: anxiety worksheets for middle school students, breathing exercises for relieving stress for teens, anxiety management neuroscience based printable, somatic breathing toolkit, middle school social emotional learning curriculum, tools for testing anxiety, breathing activities for social anxiety. Parents & Teachers Love This Program Because: Science Supported but Student Friendly: This program teaches students the real science (amygdala, vagus nerve, heartbeat, myelination) behind their feelings in a way that helps them stop blaming themselves for the way they feel and begins to help them take charge of who they are by understanding how their body works. No Prep, Ready to Use: The program comes with student worksheets/answer keys, teacher projectables/visuals, and teacher implementation guides (these guides include trauma informed scripts) for busy community counselors, social-emotional teachers, and parents to use to implement this program with ease. The Efficacy of the Program has been Proven over and over Again Through the Use of the Program Addresses Multiple Anxiety Triggers (such as academic tests, social/cafeterias, digital overstimulation, athletic performance, and sleep difficulties) in multiple ways along with the use of protocols which work in real-world education settings. Creates Resilience Long-term: This program teaches daily habits and neuroplasticity, enabling the student to not only survive through anxiety attacks but also rewire their brain to have a calmer baseline state. An Inclusive and Trauma Informed Program: The program includes opt-out options, soft gazing instead of closing your eyes (making it safe for all students), and addresses the awkwardness associated with these activities, therefore making it safe and respectful for all students! Designation of Eligible Student Group (Overall Analysis of Document): The full curriculum covers the department for the 6th-8th grades (a.k.a. middle school or early adolescent age ~ 11-14). All research studies used in the curriculum have both 7th and 8th graders; the neurobiology part discusses the “development mismatch” between an adolescent’s limbic system and their prefrontal cortex; and every worksheet is designed for the life of a middle school student (i.e. school-themed exams, cafeteria social anxiety, hallway anxiety, sports pressure, digital anxiety). Therefore, the program is inappropriate for elementary students (too advanced) or high school students (language and examples are appropriate for the maturity level of students in grades 6-8).
