Adulting 101: Real-Life Economics & Personal Finance Through Project-Based Learning by Erin Johnston https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg This interactive presentation introduces a project-based approach to teaching Economics & Personal Finance concepts collective addressed as, “Adulting 101.” Students will use real-world data to explore essential life skills, including job searching, calculating taxes, budgeting, and determining the cost of living. Through hands-on activities, they will research job markets, compare salaries across industries, and calculate mandatory payroll deductions. They will create personalized budgets that account for rent, utilities, transportation, and other expenses, while analyzing how lifestyle choices impact financial stability. This approach equips students with practical tools to navigate adult life confidently and make informed financial decisions. en-us 2025-02-14 14:30:36 UTC 2025-11-04 15:27:30 UTC hello@padlet.com NC Careers Part 1: Reality Check ejohnston35 https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3328988569 2025-02-14 14:36:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3328988569 Part 2a: Making A Career Path: How to Search the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook ejohnston35 https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3328990631 2025-02-14 14:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3328990631 Part 2b: Making A Career Path: Student Activity Directions ejohnston35 https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3328996292 2025-02-14 14:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3328996292 Part 2b: Making a Career Choice: Student Activity Template ejohnston35 https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3328996844 2025-02-14 14:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3328996844 Part 4: Calculating Net Pay Activity ejohnston35 https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3329003552 2025-02-14 14:48:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3329003552 Part 5: Calculating Your Budget ejohnston35 https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3329007255 2025-02-14 14:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3329007255 Part 6: Cost of Living Index ejohnston35 https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3329009674 2025-02-14 14:53:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3329009674 Part 2b: Making a Career Path Specific to North Carolina: NC Star Jobs ejohnston35 https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3329011501 2025-02-14 14:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3329011501 Part 6: Cost of Living by Prices ejohnston35 https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3329026150 2025-02-14 15:06:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3329026150 North Carolina Paycheck Calculator ejohnston35 https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3329035823 2025-02-14 15:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3329035823 Part 3: Writing SMART Goals with ChatGPT ejohnston35 https://padlet.com/ejohnston35/o7eyia5wkaxqyymg/wish/3329112721 Create a GPS for your career choice.
