what-do-our-students-need-to-know-the-new-national-standards-for-personal-financial-education
The typical undergraduate personal finance course covers a lot of diverse topics, and individual teachers may take different approaches to topics and emphasis. Although many states require personal finance education for high school graduation, most still do not, so it’s up to us at the community college and university levels to fill in those knowledge gaps for today’s young people. Watch this webinar in which Dr. Vickie Bajtelsmit will:
- Familiarize you with the New National Standards for Personal Financial Education and the rigorous process used to develop them.
- Summarize what’s new and different in 2022.
- Explain how the high school standards relate to college-level instruction and their importance for dual-listed courses.
- Suggest ways the Standards can be helpful for those seeking to include personal finance in the university core curriculum.
