Attention Teachers!
Are you ready to bring some excitement into your classroom while helping your students sharpen their knowledge of Economics or Personal Finance? You still have a chance to join these Challenges – but hurry, the deadline to complete the steps is March 14, 2025!
Completing it is easy! Here’s how in less than 2 days:
- Register yourself for either the Personal Finance or Economics challenge and form student teams of up to 4 people while waiting for approval from the state coordinator. (takes up to 24 hours)
- Add your classroom teams on the official website and provide each student with their unique “access code.” (5 minutes)
- Let the students take the quiz through the “student access” button. (35 minutes)
- Check student scores and track their progress directly on the website. (see tutorial)
Why should you participate?
- Pinpoint areas for improvement – Identify where your students excel and where they need extra support using their scores. Personal Finance Lessons and Economics Lessons are available to provide the students additional help.
- State Finals Opportunity – If your team performs well, you’ll be invited to the State Finals, where you can network with other dedicated educators and high-achieving students as they compete for the top team.
- Cash Prizes for the first and second place state winners!
- National Finals Trip – Winning teams at the state level earn a travel expense-paid trip to the National Finals!
- Recognition for Your School – State qualifying schools will be featured on the Iowa Jump$tart website, giving you and your students the recognition you deserve.
