Melissa Gore Selected as the SC Financial Literacy Master Teacher Program’s Educator of the Month for March

South Carolina Treasurer Curtis Loftis has recognized Melissa Gore, a teacher at Aynor High, as the SC Financial Literacy Master Teacher Program’s Educator of the Month for March. Ms. Gore currently teaches Fundamentals of Business, Marketing & Finance, and Marketing.

The South Carolina Financial Literacy Master Teacher Program provides incentives to K-12 teachers who are experts in the area of financial literacy and have a desire to teach professional development workshops to other educators in their schools and districts. Through the program, participating teachers have access to specialized training and financial literacy curriculum resources that better enable them to promote financial literacy education in K-12 schools.

Sponsored by Future Scholar, South Carolina’s 529 College Savings Plan, and in partnership with SC Economics, this statewide financial literacy initiative aims to increase teacher support and involvement in incorporating personal finance education into the curriculum.
