13. Course Description: (this must be in its final form when the proposal is made as it will be

used in the course planning guide) In Financial Algebra, the mathematics necessary for daily living is embedded in content that directly relates to financial decisions adults make in their daily lives. The mathematical formulas, functions, and representations used in Financial Algebra will assist you in making sense of the financial world through mathematical modeling and provide you with the ability to make sound financial decisions based on data. 14. General Course Outline: (briefly outline course objectives and what will be covered)

A. Semester I: See Attached Syllabus: B. Semester II (if applicable):

See Attached Syllabus:

15. List all state standards and graduation requirements that will be addressed in this course.

How does the course fit with district’s curriculum strands, standards-based instruction, career-related learning, and ongoing school goals?

See attached alignment with Common Core State Standards which are undergoing adoption in the State of Oregon for alignment.

16. What methods or indicators will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of this class and/or

program? Successful integration of a learner into Algebra 2. 17. Budget: What additional materials and resources will be necessary to offer this course?

How will these requests be funded? Textbooks could be purchased at a cost of $3786.12 or a set of materials at $1000 could be

purchased and entire course converted to Moodle, which is the recommendation.

Funding is a part of the request

A. Operating Expenses:

1) Materials (textbooks, literature selections, etc.) $__1000____

2) Copying services $___________

Page 4: Financial Algebra New Course Proposal

JCM/pkh 4 10/07

3) Office/classroom supplies $___________

4) Technology (software, etc.) $__________

B. Equipment $___________ C. Other Misc. Expenses $___________

D. List any items not covered: Course will be hosted on Integrated Media Moodle Server,

Class is dependant on daily technological and application utilization Instructor Training is $300 plus travel and expenses during summer 1000. Two Week stipend for instructor to convert materials – $ N/A

E. Total Estimated Cost of the course(s) $2000+Stipend

18. Assuming we receive no additional FTE, how will we staff sections of this course? Course will be staffed by assigning the IT teacher, who will be Math Endorsed, to two of four sections. As course is to be converted to a online learning management system, additional resources from either an Algebra I or 1.5 course could be assigned based on skills and experience in finance. 19. How will the master schedule be impacted by the adoption of this course? Two sections are foreseen to be conducted in Room 509, two sections would need to be in an additional lab with computers and projector access for instructor/students to access Learning Management on a daily basis. 20. Indicate whether research and best practice supports adoption of this course. Please

attach information from external sources (news articles, professional journals, research data, surveys, etc.) that support adoption of this course.

There are a number of articles and learning research to support connected learning through application. A quick Google search yields numerous Article from the NYTimes on April 9, 2010 Most Americans aren’t fluent in the language of money. Yet we’re expected to make big

financial decisions as early as our teens … even though most of us received no formal instruction on financial matters until it is too late. All of this raises the question: What’s happening inside our classrooms? And how many schools even broach the topic? As it turns out, for a country that prizes personal responsibility, we’re doing very little. 21. If this proposal is an extension of, or addition to, a previous adopted course, please explain. Course may be considered as an alternate to Algebra 1.5. 22. Briefly explain the primary instructional practices that will be used to teach this course.

How do the practices align with the district’s instructional model? One can teach computer science concepts so that students have immediate visual feedback— at least in the beginning. They will truly understand what they have done right and wrong because they can see it. Students should not lose sight of computer science as they examine the details of the computer language. This undertaking is not too difficult since algorithms that solve a variety of robot tasks are both plentiful and provocative, as are the topics of study associated with them. Emphasis is placed on having creativity and imagination be their guides. A goal for students is to be enjoying computer science at the level that it is most inspiring—the conceptual level.
