Course Requirements
  • Attend the 4th Annual Spring Conference Financial Fitness for Life workshop for your grade range; participate in viewing the displays, reception, and dinner. Network with other teachers during the conference to learn new methods or share ideas on integrating economics to best meet the needs of your students.

  • Implement a minimum number of three lessons from the FFFL curriculum. Reflect on the value of the lessons to your students in journal entrees. Complete a curriculum review form for the lessons used in the classroom (form will be provided to the teacher).
  • Journal entries will also include a profile of the prior knowledge of the students in your classroom and a description of the economics taught in your classroom before introducing the FFFL materials.
  • Teachers will compare the lessons to the economic benchmarks for the MAP and design a performance event for their students asking them to apply the new economic understanding they have gained from the lessons taught with a scoring guide.
  • Teachers will suggest a cross-training activity that they used to incorporate the economic/personal finance curriculum into their content area.
  • A school visit by the instructor will be made to discuss with the teacher the costs and benefits of incorporating the Financial Fitness for Life curriculum into their classroom.
