Jennifer Allen was selected as the first State of Kentucky, Jumpstart Financial Literacy - Teacher of the Year. She is a teacher at Madison Southern High School in Berea, Kentucky where she teaches Business and Marketing courses and runs the school bank and school store programs. She has presented to colleagues on using free resources for teaching various aspects of Financial Literacy (see her presentation PowerPoint below). Ms. Allen's work as a Financial Literacy educator provides an important model, as she teaches both formal classes, and runs school-based activities (the bank and store) that provide important opportunities to apply what's learned in the courses as well as other content, hands-on. In this interview Jennifer describes how she runs her program, identifies important free resources she has found, and gives important advice on how to run a highly successful Fin Lit program on the high school level.
