This session will help you teach personal finance online or in the classroom. FFFL allows you to measure your students’ progress across four areas of personal finance: earning an income, saving, spending and credit, and money management. Between these four themes there are 22 lessons, each focusing on a different topic and ranging in length from one 45-minute period to a week’s worth of classroom experience.

All attendees of this two-part, four-hour evening workshop will receive a free FFFL lesson plan book (retail price is $40). Participants will take part in active lesson demonstrations while they network and build relationships with other teachers of personal finance and economics.


Fee: NO CHARGE


Additional Information:

The session will be designed for teachers of Economics and Personal Finance (EPF), but others are welcome to attend. Space is limited.

This workshop and the accompanying materials are made available to teachers through the generous support of the Charles Schwab Foundation and the Council for Economic Education.
