I want to share a helpful resource for teachers that focus on financial literacy.
The Earn Your Future Digital Lab is an interactive curricula designed to empower young minds with financial and economic knowledge.
“Earn Your Future” Digital Lab is a comprehensive financial literacy program designed for students in grades 3-12. Students engage with financial literacy concepts through innovative self-paced modules featuring custom videos, animations, and interactive activities. Educators are supported with embedded student assessment tools with real-time feedback, “Level Handbooks” and “Module Planning & Resource Guides.” The content is impactful, relatable, and aligned with Council for Economic Educators standards.
This resource is free to use and very well put together. I played with it over a few days and actually had some myths about credit and other financial issues cleared up for me.
Every teacher can sign up for free and create classes. Once there, teachers can create student accounts by typing in their name or by uploading a CSV File. Each student will get their own log in and password and this allows the teacher to track the work the student has accomplished.
There are three levels for students to explore. Level 1 is for beginners, level 2 is intermediate, and level 3 is advanced. I decided to jump into the advanced level and really test my knowledge.
I chose the first level and it was about Credit. There was a pretest, two videos, and multiple activities to walk me through how credit woks, what it is, and how certain things can and cannot impact credit scores. Best of all, I was able to do all of this on my iPhone! This is great for classes where students can use their own devices.
The app allows students earn badges as they complete more of the self-paced content. It is a great for students to show that they have accomplished their work and the teacher can see how far the students have come along.
Teachers do not need to feel like they are heading into this in the dark. There are great Educator Guides that can help teachers implement this application into their regular schedule.
The PwCCharitable Foundation has created a great resource for grades 3-12 that helps students learn valuable skills as they move forward in life. Too many kids get hit with credit card debt and face confusion over other aspects of financial literacy, it's great to see something that helps students and teachers get a better understanding of very complex ideas. Currently, there are interactive modules for middle and high school students, with elementary modules coming in the fall.
The PwC Charitable Foundation supports the people of PricewaterhouseCoopers in times of need and invests in emerging solutions to society’s greatest challenges in education and humanitarianism.
To take a look at the modules offered, simply sign up at the app here to view the materials offered to families and teachers: http://app.
Feel free to run through the lessons yourself and see what you still have to learn about financial literacy.
