Review for Financial Literacy Class
Zakia Gordon, M.S. Direct of After School All Star at Bunche Middle School
“Mr. Dominique Dieujuste has the phenomenal talent of being able to make the topic of financial management, which is often difficult for adults to navigate, extremely engaging and accessible to middle school students. Mr. Dieujuste has worked with our students for just over one year and he is consistent and extremely dedicated to increasing the financial literacy of young adults. His class is enjoyable, valuable, and filled with opportunities for students to not only imagine but also to plan their future success as it relates to financial well-being. Mr. Dieujuste has a curriculum designed to educate and inspire and his ability to connect with students makes his class exciting and enriching with the undeniable potential to be life-changing.”
Alesha D. James, Direct of After School All Star at Coretta Scott King Young Woman's Leadership Academy
"Mr. Dominique Dieujuste makes learning about financial literacy relevant to the diverse needs of our students! He provides a structured yet engaging program in which the students learn about credit, savings, debt, bank accounts, and more. He also weaves in the components of Social Emotional Learning to promote self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making. Students walk away knowing they are 100% accountable for their financial success."
"Mr. Dieujuste has facilitated Financial Literacy to our students for almost a year now. He has developed a great rapport with the students. His lessons include videos, guest speakers, contests, and collaboration to keep students engaged, inspired, and motivated. His program gives students who would not normally have access to this type of information the opportunity to make life-changing financial decisions to ensure their financial well-being and avoid some of the pitfalls associated with lack of knowledge."
Ms. Lona Foster, Parent Liaison at Bunche Middle School
Mr. Dieujuste did an outstanding job as a financial advocate, teacher, advisor, and builder. He came to teach us financial literacy, but we received so much more. He did an outstanding job at Bunche Middle School for the community, and parents. We were so excited about all the information, worksheets, surveys, and lessons well learned, that he extended our time an additional week. The parents were so excited, and the workshops were so favorable. Mr. Dieujuste certainly has a gift to engage everyone and make them feel a part of the process. We look forward to our continued relationship with him, and what he offers as a business man.
As Chuck Swindoll says: “Life is 10% of what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it”
Mr. Dieujuste teaches that 90%, how to react.
Warmly,
Ms. Foster, Family Engagement
