Christopher Power teaches economics, virtual enterprise, and technology to grades 9-12 at Francis Lewis High School in Fresh Meadows, NY. Christopher’s passion for finance and economics translates to unique and often loud (but entertaining!) lessons and discussion. Christopher focuses on brining real-world experiences into the classroom. Lessons include building pitch decks, analyzing economic data, calculating mortgage payments, managing money, and more. Christopher’s teaching approach is extremely popular with the students: he has grown the business program from 68 to 306 students per year. What matters to him most is creating career ready students who are capable of making calculated life and financial decisions. Christopher shared, “Financial literacy and economic education buys freedom. Evidence suggests 80% of people are financially illiterate. So, contrary to popular belief, money is not the root of all evil, the lack of financial literacy is.”
