Learner Outcomes of Exchange City
The Exchange City curriculum meets numerous priorities of systemic school reform agendas and advances students’ knowledge, skill, attitudes, and achievement. The Exchange City program is an opportunity for educators, students, parents, and business leaders, to adapt and expand the Learning Exchange’s program to the priorities, needs, and opportunities within their community.
Participation in the Exchange City program seeks to achieve the following learner outcomes for young people, their parents, and school districts:

-
first-hand experience of what it takes to create a business, produce a product, meet payroll, work to meet customer needs and expectations, repay bank loans, and serve the public through tax supported services.
