ACN&#8217;s mentor, Harrell Peterson, uses real-world scenarios to assist students with their personal and professional financial goals. Projects include activities that teach strategies regarding investments, trading stock, markets and risks and rewards of owning a business.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the partnership is to support learning in the classroom that will prepare students for scenarios and opportunities outside of the school setting. Projects include Cashflow 101, a board game that involves small groups to purchase property, trade stocks and evaluate risks and rewards of business ownership.<\/p>\n<p>ACN has been involved with ATC\u2019s marketing class for 23 years, benefiting more than 700 students by providing experience and knowledge necessary to be a successful business owner.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to know more about the Partners In Education program, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vbschools.com\/community\/volunteers_partners\/partners_in_education\">www.vbschools.com<\/a>, or contact Jennifer McGowan in the Office of Family and Community Engagement, at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:Jennifer.McGowan@vbschools.com\">Jennifer.McGowan@vbschools.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vbcpsblogs.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ACNand-MarketingClassroom-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9813 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vbcpsblogs.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ACNand-MarketingClassroom-1024x529.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;&quot;\" width=\"1024\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vbcpsblogs.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ACNand-MarketingClassroom-1024x529.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vbcpsblogs.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ACNand-MarketingClassroom-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vbcpsblogs.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ACNand-MarketingClassroom-768x397.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vbcpsblogs.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ACNand-MarketingClassroom-1536x794.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.vbcpsblogs.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ACNand-MarketingClassroom-2048x1058.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.vbcpsblogs.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ACNand-MarketingClassroom-400x207.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the first article in a series of profiles about each of Virginia Beach City Public Schools\u2019 2020 Model Partnerships.
