Don’t worry if you are a little intimidated to teach a personal finance class, the pre-recorded lectures provide all of the actual financial teaching required. We look to you to enhance the class with stories of your own financial experiences. Real life stories of financial truths in action cement the lessons in the minds of the student.

BEFORE PERSONAL FINANCE
Before Personal Finance includes 10 lessons designed for ages 8–13. Each lesson takes up to two hours to complete, but it’s flexible — the four parts (teaching, activity, budget preparation, and quiz) can easily be split into class and homework sessions to fit your schedule. There are no videos — just hands-on workbook lessons that make learning about money fun, engaging, and easy to understand.
BEYOND PERSONAL FINANCE
Beyond Personal Finance is designed to be taught in a one-hour class setting with a structure that looks something like this:
Play the icebreaker Kahoot! as people arrive and get settled. (10 mins)
Watch the instructional video. (20-30 mins)
Discuss the instructional video and homework assignment. (10 mins)
Do the budget activities (plot twists, baby game, etc) and discuss how students feel about their budget given the choices presented in the lesson. (10 mins)
If you have more time, consider working through the budget homework in class.
If you like the interactive feel of working through the budgets together but only have an hour, consider having your students watch the instructional video at home prior to class.
