Junior Achievement Partnership
How it Works

UCF students will teach the elementary school curriculum to students in Orange and Seminole County schools. The program will be administered and coordinated by Junior Achievement of Central Florida in concert with the Office of Research and Civic Engagement in The Burnett Honors College.

The Junior Achievement Program includes 6 grade specific themes – Ourselves, Our Families, Our Community, Our City, Our Region, and Our Nation. These programs teach students the basic concepts of business, the importance of being an engaged citizen and show children how education is relevant to the workplace.

The sequential activities build on concepts and skills from each preceding grade and prepare students for secondary school and lifelong learning.

• UCF students will present 5 hands-on lessons designed to make learning fun
• Each lesson will last up to 45 minutes during the regular elementary school day ( 8:30am-2:30pm)
• All instructional materials will be provided to UCF students
• JA/BHC staff will provide training for UCF students
