Financial Literacy Education: A Practical Guide and Workbook Basics (ePub)

With over twenty years of experience as an Educator, Dr. Norris Rashe Dorsey is the embodiment of what it means to operate in your gifts. A University of La Verne Leo through and through, Dr. Dorsey has received his Bachelor of Science Degree with an emphasis in Organizational Management, his Master of Business Administration Degree with a Concentration in Information Technology, and his Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership. But more important than his achievements, is the journey that brought him here.

As a student athlete, his innate leadership skills were honed and led to his eventual transition into Intercollegiate Sports as Head Basketball Coach for the Cal Lutheran Summer League Team (1999-2004). It dawned on him that coaching was simply teaching, on the court, so in 2001 he transitioned into the classroom and first taught Financial Planning and Labor Relations. Immediately, he felt at home in the classroom and became a resource for the Los Angeles Community College System, teaching all things Business Related. He also worked for the California State University System, at their Northridge campus, and for various University of Phoenix locations. As he continued to teach these varied business courses, one question would inevitably keep coming up, "How do you start a business?" So, in 2014, as a case study and real-time example of how to start a business, Dr. Dorsey decided to start the Norris Dorsey Academy of Entrepreneurs, where he would teach his students how to start their business as they were taking their business courses.
