This class is designed to prepare secondary mathematics teachers to teach Personal Financial Literacy in the spirit with which those academic standards were composed, incorporating both mathematical and economic ways of thinking. It is math that is context rich with real world scenarios and financial applications. Strategies for finding and taking opportunities to address the PFL standards in the context of preexisting mathematics curriculum will be discussed. Both the mathematical underpinnings of and the economic principles inherent in PFL will be thoroughly explored.

The recently adopted (2010) personal financial literacy (PFL) standards are embedded in the state math and economics standards. If you wish to teach about financial planning, saving, investing, credit, insurance or any of the other PFL expectations, CCEE is here to help you with training lessons and resources...with a foundation of economic reasoning! Classes marked with the dollar sign icon are personal financial literacy topics.

¹As the primary mission of CCEE is to train teachers, registration priority will be given to active teachers (including substitutes). We love to see retired teachers and even members of the general public at our seminars but a seat will be reserved for these persons on a space-available basis.

REFUND POLICY: Registration cancellations must be requested within 5 business days prior to the class start date; otherwise registration fees are non-refundable.
