About

Built for the teacher doing the real planning

How to Teach Personal Finance is an educational publication for teachers who want clear, useful help with a subject that touches every student's life.

Why this resource exists

Personal finance teachers are often asked to cover a wide range of topics in limited time. Some are teaching the course for the first time. Others are rebuilding an inherited course or looking for a better way to make a familiar lesson matter to students.

This publication turns broad standards and financial concepts into practical planning choices, classroom examples, activities, and ways to check learning.

Who it is for

The primary audience is high school teachers, including educators who teach personal finance as a stand-alone course and those who integrate it into economics, business, career readiness, math, or another subject.
