Pillars of Student Success
Following participation in the learning experience, students will be able to:
-- Consider whether a dream car is a realistic purchase for most people.
-- Explore their driving needs and things to consider when choosing a car.
-- Identify a car that meets their needs and research the cost.
-- Understand the pros and cons of financing or leasing a car.
JA All About Cars is part of the JA Financial Literacy Pathway and is recommended for high school students (grades 9-12). It offers flexible implementation options to meet the needs of students and teachers in a variety of use cases. This one-session learning experience can be delivered as a stand-alone session or used in conjunction with another JA financial literacy learning experience.
As part of this learning experience, JA teachers and volunteers are encouraged to use the resources available in JA Connect®, located at connect.ja.org. This self-guided experience includes interactives, JA Here to Career, and apps for student use.
JA Learning Experiences support national and state standards in reading, mathematics, social studies, and work and career readiness. See below for more information on alignment with national and state standards.
