An interesting tidbit showed up at the library today! The U.S. Department of Education is currently running the National Financial Capability Challenge. This program encourages educators (and parents) to engage the youth in their lives in developing crucial financial literacy skills. With such a complicated economic structure to navigate, it is crucial that students understand financial precepts... including interest, fraud, debt, and everything in-between! Whether or not this program is for your classroom, the educator toolkit is thought-provoking.
A timely program in such an economic climate!
