AOA 033: Merging Money and Hip Hop to Help Children Define Money Values and Encourage Entrepreneurship — with Guest Andrea Ferrero

The Art of Allowance Podcast | Parenting | Families | Money Smarts | Financial Literacy

In this episode, I talk to Andrea Ferrero. Andrea is a co-founder of Pockets Change, an organization that uses hip hop pedagogy to change the way personal finance is taught to kids. Andrea has enjoyed over a decade of teaching students of all ages, coaching educators and designing award-winning academic programs and products. She currently holds teaching credentials in Pre-K though12th Grade Multiple Subjects and two Master’s Degrees, one in Educational Leadership as well as one in Curriculum & Instruction with Multicultural Contexts. Andrea and I discuss how to help kids move from thinking they are "good" or "bad" with money to learning how to simply use money as a tool. We discuss money values and personalities, encouraging entrepreneurship and how Andrea is adapting her teaching methods to accommodate families during the COVID-19 crisis. So please join me for another wide ranging conversation.
