| | From the Executive Director's Corner |
|
With the new school year in full swing, I recognize that this can be both an exciting and challenging time for educators. In just the past two years, several states have passed new legislation mandating personal finance courses as a graduation requirement, leading to a growing demand among educators for relevant resources.
At the AFSA Education Foundation, we are committed to providing you and your learners with a variety of free personal finance activities, online courses, and classroom tools. In addition to our free personal finance curriculum, MoneySKILL, I’d like to showcase a few additional resources that can complement your personal finance instruction:
- MoneySKILL: Supplemental Personal Finance Teaching Activities - Over 300 free, digital financial education activities, games, calculators, case studies, articles, and more, which are designed to supplement the delivery of MoneySKILL classes. To access this resource, log in to your MoneySKILL account and navigate to the “Resources” section.
- MoneySKILL: Supplemental Videos - A curated list of free videos and classroom discussion questions that have been organized to align with each of the MoneySKILL modules.
In addition to the resources listed above, the AFSA Education Foundation also has a range of digital brochures, worksheets, and flyers available on our website here.
Thank you for all that you do to promote financial education and best wishes for a successful school year.
Sincerely,
Rhonda Ashburn
Executive Director
