The Realty StoreSM is a simulation game in which students identify their career interests, research a specific career, and receive a mock checkbook with the monthly income entered for the specific career. Students then visit booths manned by community members at which they pay their monthly bills. At each booth, student make decisions concerning the standard of living they’ll assume. For example, at the housing booth (manned by a Realtor), students decide if they want to pay for a one-bedroom efficiency apartment or a five-bedroom home. Following the Reality StoreSM, students discuss the impact of the educational choices they make today on their ability to 1) enter various occupations and 2) support various standards of living in their future.
Many thanks to the Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Indiana, who developed the original Reality Store, for partnering with the Indiana Department of Education to make these resources available to Indiana schools. |
