Bankability in action
Build money skills into the school day.
Earn It
Participating, staying on task, and following directions earn dollars for a virtual bank account.
Track the Balance
Balances grow with every deposit and shrink with every purchase—real money math, every day.
Shop or Save
Students choose: spend on rewards now, or save for something bigger.
Payday & Pay Stubs
On the 1st and 15th, students review their pay stub and connect behaviors to earnings.
Review the Statement
Monthly reviews track earning, spending, and saving—and compare receipts to catch errors.
Budget & Set Goals
Students plan for bills, savings, and purchases, then ask: “Am I getting closer to my goal?”
More than money skills
Classroom behavior.
Workplace readiness.
Bankability connects participation, staying on task, and following directions to meaningful classroom earnings.
Across four levels, students practice self-regulation, use feedback to build action plans, and learn to advocate for the supports they need. Everyday routines become opportunities to build skills for work and greater independence.
