Elementary educators are charged with teaching their students literacy skills and economic principles – why not combine the two for maximum engagement? This self-paced professional development program will give K-5 educators an opportunity to explore six children’s books accompanied by lesson plans that help students understand economic and personal finance concepts.
Elementary educators who complete all program requirements (at least 3 self-paced 45-minute modules and a survey) will receive two books of their choice. Participants will also receive a certificate of professional development (up to 4.5 hours).
