Financial Smarts For Teachers

The new program provides personal finance education to teachers so they will have a better understanding of their own finances, and in turn will be better prepared to teach the subject to students.

National Standards in K-12 Personal Finance Education

With benchmarks, knowledge statements and glossary, The National Standards in K-12 Personal Finance Education was created and is maintained by the Jump$tart Coalition. The Jump$tart Coalition asserts that all young people graduating from our nation's high schools should be able to take individual responsibility for their personal economic well-being. To this end, the Standards indicate the skills students must have to increase their personal finance knowledge continually as their responsibilities and opportunities change.
