X-Factor Update: The Cookie Academy Project
Keep an eye on the the winning project to see how the X-Factor Student Achievement Grant is helping to improve the performance of their students.
The X-Factor Winning Program:
Cookie Academy Project,
Antwerp (Ohio) Local School District
Freshly baked cookies will be the end product of a cross-curricular financial education project. The goal of the Cookie Academy Project is to increase the financial literacy skills and reading scores of the district’s special needs students—24 students in grades K6 and 29 students in grades 7-12. Special needs students in grades K6 will learn math, reading and technology skills through the project. High school special needs students will serve as the financial counselors to the elementary students and will keep track of finances—sorting and adding money from the cookie sales. They will also serve as role models for the younger ones. Read about the Cookie Academy Project.
