| Impact Report | Jump$tart Financial literacy Financial Literacy; This year the Home Economist, active in the Jump$tart coalition for financial literacy finished the year term as the event chairperson for NM Jump$tart. Two events took place, one in Roswell in November and the other in Las Cruces in January the goal of this task was to accommodate more high school teachers charged with teaching financial literacy in their school around the state. In addition to an information booth for NMSU Cooperative Extension Family Management programs a workshop was given on the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) curriculum. Dr. Abdul-Rahman the ACES Family Management Specialist presented training to the high school teachers. Dr. Abdul-Rahman worked with the Home Economist to bring the Family and Consumer Science teacher together for purposes to share who the two groups could work together and help each other. Throughout the year the Home Economist has helped teachers on the phone and in person as requested and hopes these connections will continue to grow. |
