Don’t over-complicate student accountability. Limit the Checkbook Project to about one-third of the year. Have extra help on hand for the first two tax reports, allow extra time, and be sure to post and model the tax report form. That will make the first couple of tax reports easier. Keep the debits and credits simple (whole dollar amounts and fewer items). Introduce elements of the project gradually (For example, wait until week two to begin renting desks, week three to begin renting cubbies, week four to issue business licenses, and even later to hire for the classroom positions). Be sure to post, model, and review the blank checkbook register daily during the first week or two. Like any new program, the first weeks can be difficult for some kids.

Simply put, it’s a more complex form of “class money” without the bother of handing out Monopoly bucks (which often get lost and stolen). It improves test scores, inspires the entrepreneurial spirit, and even turns “thugs” into pussycats. The Checkbook Project pumps life into a classroom the way the stimulus package pumped bucks into GM.
