About This Virtual PD: 

NGPF Speaker Series: Stephen Day runs a mini-economy in his own home with his four kids—complete with jobs, businesses, and a kitchen-table store where even the parents participate. As director of the VCU Center for Economic Education and author of "Teach a Kid to Save: A Fun, Hands-On Approach to Building Smart Money Habits," he's spent years figuring out how to teach money concepts without triggering the paralysis that words like "economics" can cause. In this session, Stephen will share strategies for creating classroom mini-economies, turning abstract financial concepts into concrete experiences, and why hands-on learning beats lectures every time for teaching smart money habits.
