I'm David Jackson, a certified Business Education teacher (grades 6-12). I've taught financial literacy in a public middle school and math and science in a juvenile justice program, and I now teach financial education with the Peace Corps in Peru. I want to bring that experience to a secondary classroom.

Why financial literacy
Most students will make real money decisions before they ever take a business class: a first paycheck, a first loan, a first lease. I believe school should prepare them for those moments, and I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember.
