Curriculum
Providing P.R.O.O.F.’s flagship program curriculum is engaged over a 3-year period. Learners take 1.5-hour class sessions 3x a week in 15-week cycles. There are 3 cycles a year, totaling 45 weeks and 90 classes per year.
Year One curriculum is Seed to Sprout.
Seed to Sprout curriculum is focused on understanding economies, the self as an economy, and ways to utilize valuation processes to maintain thriving self economies. Some of the concepts include:
- Building wealth includes the growth and protection of assets.
- Habits, the practice of doing something often, contribute to wealth and lack of wealth.
- The worth of a resource can be underestimated.
Year Two curriculum is Sprout to Sapling.
Sprout to Sapling curriculum is designed to increase the understanding of the range of risks, costs, and returns that economies and self as an economy must understand and engage in to transform into prosperous and aligned enterprises.
Year Three curriculum is Sapling to Mature Fruit.
Sapling to Mature Fruit curriculum centers learning around barriers, volatility, and reciprocity that an enterprise and the enterprise of self must be aware of and strategize for.
In addition to classes, Providing P.R.O.O.F.’s curriculum consists of investment work. We believe it is essential for people to build wealth through the spending of time, energy, and resources on a weekly basis. Our model requires three types of investment work that average about 60-90 minutes a week (Year One).
Examining Fruit
This investment work prioritizes data collection and analysis of learner’s thoughts and actions based on the concept explored in the weekly sessions.
Growing Branches
This investment work centers opportunities for learners to increase application and integration of weekly concepts through transformative explorations.
Spreading the Seeds
This investment work situates learners as an asset engaging in reciprocity and wealth building in their communities as they share economic literacy knowledge from their classes with someone older, younger, and their age.
Capstones
Capstones are the final component of Providing P.R.O.O.F.’s curriculum. Learners will engage 2x a year in capstone projects Inquiry Exhibitions (6-12 years old) and Symposiums (13+ year olds) that are learner centered opportunities to display integrated learning in interactive settings. All capstone projects are real life focused, equity-oriented, with clear economic stances. Learners are expected to include data, utilize technology, focus on self and community, reflect, and offer next steps for economic revision.
