Objective
By the end of the session, teachers will be able to effectively sequence and teach key financial literacy topics such as income, taxes, saving, investing, credit management, risk, and insurance, while anticipating and addressing common student misconceptions and pitfalls.
Teachers will come away with a collection of resources, lesson plans, and assessments that can be readily implemented in their classrooms, enhancing their pedagogical practices and providing students with engaging learning experiences in the field of financial literacy. They will also have opportunities to collaborate with other educators, sharing best practices and exploring simulations and online tools that can be integrated into their fall curriculum.
