Five Lexington-Richland School District Five teachers have qualified to become South Carolina Financial Literacy Master Teachers. This year’s Bronze level cohort included 33 educators from across the state.
Otisha Boyd-Robinson (Dutch Fork High), April Gaura (Oak Pointe Elementary), Miriam Hardy-Koverman (Piney Woods Elementary), Oleva Irvin (H. E. Corley Elementary), and Andrea McKnight (H. E. Corley Elementary) will all be part of the sixth cohort.
Launched in January 2020, the South Carolina Financial Literacy Master Teachers
Program is designed to increase the number of educators that incorporate personal finance education in their classrooms across the K-12 system. To date, more than 177 teachers have participated in the program.
The South Carolina Financial Literacy Master Teacher Program provides financial incentives to K-12 teachers who are experts in the area of financial literacy and have a desire to teach professional development workshops to other educators in their schools and districts.
One highlight of the Master Teacher program is its emphasis on ensuring that financial literacy skills are passed to both students and teachers alike. To learn more, visit scflmt.org.
