Teaching Kids Business - A Community

Educators sharing curricula to teach business concepts to kids...

Connect and collaborate with other teachers developing curricula around The Future Business Leaders' Series(tm)

Welcome

Hi, Educators & Parents,

I'm Jennifer Bouani, author of the Future Business Leaders' Series, a series of adventure stories designed to teach kids about business and entrepreneurship.
Recently, some teachers have presented to Bouje (the publisher) various curricula they have developed around the series, while others are searching for curriculum ideas. I'm thrilled teachers are so engaged with teaching kids the basics of business!

I've always felt that the books could make a good teaching tool. Creative teachers are making that happen. So, I thought we could start an online community for teachers to connect and:

* share curriculum ideas
* find new curriculum ideas
* ask an expert educator

Welcome! Please join us in the conversation!
Jennifer

The Introduction for Tyler Passes the Golden Key

I’ve put together an Introduction for Book 2 for the Korean printing that’s coming up in a few weeks. Since I didn’t do this for the English version, I thought I’d throw it out here on the blog.   Maybe I should throw the introduction to Book 1 (Tyler & His Solve-a-matic Machine) up [...]
