I\u2019m excited to collaborate with EVERFI this Financial Literacy Month<\/a> to turn that interest into actionable wisdom.<\/p>\n EVERFI\u2019s commitment to free, quality financial literacy resources aligns perfectly with our goal to Shake Up Learning and give students the skills they need to succeed.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s explore how we can transform eager learners into financially savvy adults.<\/p>\n Financial Literacy Month: How to Prepare Students for a Financially Smart Future @EverfiK12<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Students today have more interest in personal finance than ever before. Combine that with access to seemingly endless information online, and it\u2019s no surprise that the financial advice hashtag #fintok has been viewed over 4.7 billion times on TikTok. Financial literacy education in schools is a great way to make students think about being savvy consumers of information outside of school. EVERFI believes that hands-on experience with real-world simulations is the best way to prepare students for financial success now and in the future.<\/p>\n April\u2019s Financial Literacy Month is the perfect time to satisfy students’ interest in Financial Education and show them how we support their journey to become successful young adults. We believe it\u2019s never too early (or too late!) to get students started on that journey. EVERFI offers FREE Financial Literacy resources for elementary, middle, and high school students!<\/p>\n EVERFI Vault<\/p><\/div>\n Did you know that financial attitudes, habits, and norms develop the most during the ages of 6-12? Do you remember shopping in the grocery store, reading prices, or tagging along to the bank to deposit a check? These are all the start of building financial habits, even if we don\u2019t know it!<\/p>\n One of the greatest activities you can do with your elementary students is working on the concept of wants vs needs. Check out the financial literacy lessons for elementary students to do just that while even exploring career options and supporting others through charities.<\/p>\n EVERFI Future Smart<\/p><\/div>\n Middle school students are learning independence and crafting their identities so they can hone in on what activities and futures they want to pursue. It\u2019s also the perfect age to embed financial literacy activities and project-based learning into your career lessons or even social studies activities.<\/p>\n One idea comes from FutureSmart\u2019s Building a Business lesson \u2013 students have the opportunity to see what goes into budgeting and marketing for a business all through simulated experiences. Take this digital learning off-screen and have students create their own businesses. It\u2019s amazing to see what they can create and how many \u2018a-ha\u2019 moments arise!<\/p>\n EVERFI High School<\/p><\/div>\n For many high school students, this is where reality kicks in: Soon enough, you\u2019ll be deciding what the next steps out of high school are, the W-2 you receive will be part of your yearly taxes, and opening a loan at some point in your life will most likely happen.<\/p>\n From math and business classes to advisory periods, there\u2019s a way to seamlessly integrate financial education but why not start with what your students want to know first? Provide them with the opportunity to select from a variety of topics [banking, entrepreneurship, using payment apps, the stock market, etc] and give them the tools they need to dive deeper into the concepts they are most interested in. Not only does this create buy-in from your students, but they become the experts to teach others how to set up successful pathways.<\/p>\n Financial literacy plays a critical role in shaping our students’ futures. It extends beyond the classroom; it’s a vital life skill that influences future well-being and success.<\/p>\n By leveraging EVERFI’s dynamic and comprehensive financial literacy resources<\/a>, we offer students from elementary through high school the knowledge and tools they need for informed financial decision-making.<\/p>\n As we celebrate Financial Literacy Month<\/a>, let’s pledge to do more than just teach financial concepts.<\/p>\n Let’s commit to empowering our students with the confidence and skills to navigate their financial journeys successfully. Together, we’re not just preparing students for the future; we’re equipping them to redefine it.<\/p>\n \u00a9 Shake Up Learning 2023.
