What is Financial Education?
Financial Education across the K-12 curriculum begins with students’ identities and memberships in our communities, extends into disciplinary inquiry-based, culturally sustaining instruction that educates for broad economic inclusion, mobility, critical examination of existing systems, and financially secure individuals and communities.
Why Financial Education?
Studies continue to show that significant and meaningful Financial Education improves decision making in ways that increase college completion rates, results in improved debt-to-income ratios, and reduces students’ exposure to predatory lending practices.
Informed Financial Decision Making is Financial Empowerment.
