The overarching goal of this online Institute is to streamline educators’ learning of personal finance content by reviewing classroom-ready curricula and resources, including lessons, videos, infographics, PPT slides, simulations, games, etc. That is, personal finance content and instructional strategies are learned simultaneously to reduce instructional preparation time. Vetted by 23 years of experience, this professionally curated collection of 450+ resources features the greatest hits in personal finance education. Basic economic concepts and decision-making skills are used as a lens for making more informed and empowered financial decisions.

This experiential learning Institute is extremely flexible and accessible to a variety of grades, subjects, and adult education and workforce development audiences.  The curriculum is easily customizable to different learning formats, including standalone semester courses, real-world contextualized instruction (e.g., math instruction), community workshops, one-on-one counseling sessions, etc.  Online modules are self-paced with practical, applied, and reflective assignments that can be reused with students.  Live Zoom classes feature breakout groups for national networking, collaboration, and resource sharing.
