The Wealth Academy

This mini-course has been developed for educators to support students in senior school, tertiary and vocational education. Facilitators may wish to deliver aspects of this course to teenagers younger and older than this age group if there is interest and relevance. In this course, a facilitator (possibly you) leads one or more students through the activities.

We have chosen ten topics for this course. It is always debatable what goes into any course selection, but we have taken a program view, and considered the range of topics in our range of courses from upper primary through to late teenage students. Facilitators have the option of dipping in and out of this course as well as other age level courses to deliver their own specific program. We expect facilitators will make good use of that flexibility. From reading the topics, you will see that there is a breadth of topics, ensuring lots of variety. Once you get into the course you will also note that we dip into websites and articles and links from around the world. The WWW is an open-source library of resources which we will point you towards if we think it will add value to your student's learning.

It has been developed to help those who have a passion, interest or responsibility to support the wellbeing of teenagers. This type of course is constructed on the premise that there is a facilitator at the front of a room, guiding the learning of one or more students through the topics of the course, using a computer, data projector or smart board. Or it could be a parent helping a child in their home study, or a youth coordinator supporting teens in need, or a financial planner or accountant supporting the children of clients.

Facilitators may choose to do all 10 topics or just one. They also have the choice of doing all, some or none of the activities within each course topic. We aim to give the facilitator as much choice as possible.

It is important to note, that there is NO student information collected through the facilitator model. It is a facilitator's username and email address that is collected as part of the subscription process. This is necessary to maintain vigilance over security, as well as support for the facilitator.

We provide a 4 month window from registration date. As there are only 10 topics, 4 months should be ample time to complete the course with students.

We intend to update and add lessons to each course each year, giving you greater choice in how you use the course in a school, college or organisational setting. We understand that schools etc will want to use the course each year with different sets of students.
