In our program we teach students vocational skills and independent living skills like vacuuming, microwave cooking, and budgeting. In order to teach our students to live a more independent life we are teaching them how budget their finances. Students are paid biweekly for vocational tasks (vacuuming, cooking, cleaning) around the school, they can then use their student money to pay classroom bills and purchase incentives from the student market. Students can earn extra money to purchase extra incentives if they choose to. I've created this project to create new vocational tasks and provide my students more incentives to motivate them.
