> **   Teachers know the subjects they are teaching. ** >   The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the disciplines she or he teaches and can create learning experiences that make these aspects of subject matter meaningful for pupils >  >   Evidence1: [|Standard 1.doc] >    >   Rationale 1: This lesson was created for a Personal Finance class grades 10-12. This lesson will enhance students understanding of the process of buying an automobile. Students will learn that there is more to just going out and buying a car. There are a series of steps that need to be followed. Students will learn how to contact banks and get preapproved for a loan. Students will have to set goals how to save up for a purchase or how to set up a plan to make the payments. Setting up a payment plan was the biggest eye opener for the students. Most students want to buy a vehicle that they can’t afford. As a teacher I learned to encorporate the students car payment into their personal budget which was set in a previous lesson. As the teacher, I learned of different websites to find vehicles, get appreasals of vehicles and competitive rates from banks. >    >  KSD:  >  >  1.K.1 The teacher understands the major concepts, assumptions, debates, processes of inquiry, and ways of knowing that are central to the discipline(s) s/he teaches >    >   Students completed the major concepts for purchasing a vehicle. Research a vehicle, find the value, get approved for a loan, and calculate the monthly payment. >    >   1.S.5 The teacher develops and uses curricula that encourage students to see, question, and interpret ideas >  from diverse perspectives >    >   Students share their car research by taking turns discussing as a class. >    >   1.D.3 The teacher has enthusiasm for the discipline(s) s/he teaches and sees connections to everyday life >    >   I conclude with the difference between needs and wants. Most students started with wants and most students ended with needs. I encourage students to remember that keeping their budget in check is part of everyday life. > Standard1 > Standard2 > Standard3 > Standard4 > Standard5 > Standard6 > Standard7 > Standard9 > Standard10
