Personal Financial Literacy (PFL)
As required by legislation enacted in 2008, new Personal Financial
Literacy (PFL) standards for grades P-12 were adopted by the state of
Colorado in December, 2009 and are required to be implemented in all
public schools for the 2011-12 school year. These PFL Standards and
Evidence Outcomes are embedded in the revised Economics and Mathematics
standards. As included in economics, PFL is designed to enable students to
design, analyze and apply a financial plan based on short and long-term
financial goals (standard 4); analyze strategic spending, saving and
investment options (standard 5); establish personal credit and manage debt
(standard 6); identify, develop and evaluate risk management strategies
(standard 7).
