Black Friday Doorbuster Banking On Success: Building Financial Literacy For Educators And Students - Today Only [eVEpS9fn]

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.
