Building Financial Literacy for Educators and Students offers educators a concise exploration of essential personal finance concepts that include budgeting, saving, managing debt, and setting financial goals. Analysis assignments, technology tools, assessments, and discussions will aid teachers in deepening their understanding of these concepts and enable them to confidently impart this knowledge to their students so that their students may make informed financial choices for a lifetime of financial well-being.

Course assignments include creation of a personal budget that will ensure monetary needs and goals, fiscal self-confidence, and peace of mind. Course activities and topics will culminate in a lesson plan that educators may implement in their classrooms. Educators will leave this course with increased confidence in their own financial management skills and, thus, the ability to integrate personal financial literacy into their instructional practice. 

Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:

  • Describe how knowledge of and communication about personal finance empowers teachers and students to make informed decisions about how they manage their money.   
  • Develop strategies that incorporate personal finance into teaching to support healthy behavior and communication about money.
  • Analyze personal and cultural financial behaviors concerning debt, credit, spending, and saving habits and its impact on social and emotional health.
  • Organize and prioritize financial needs and goals using opportunity cost. 
  • Identify and describe the core elements and practices of successful personal money planning.
  • Utilize technology tools and budget methods to construct a personal money plan and teach this skill to students.
