Teachers

This course is designed for high school educators who are passionate about preparing students for the real-world financial decisions that come with postsecondary education. Many of these teachers are affiliated with specialized career academies such as the Academy of Finance or the broader National Academy Foundation (NAF) network, and they see financial literacy not just as a requirement—but as a mission.

🧠 These educators are:

• Personal finance, business, or economics teachers looking for real-world, student-centered materials

• Advisors or lead teachers in NAF Academy of Finance programs integrating college and career readiness into their curriculum

• College and Career Counselors supporting students navigating the transition from high school to higher education

• CTE (Career and Technical Education) instructors focused on financial planning, budgeting, and postsecondary decision-making

🎯 Their goals:

• Empower students with practical financial skills they’ll use immediately

• Help students and families make informed borrowing decisions

• Integrate current, real-world resources like StudentAid.gov and FAFSA into the classroom

• Support their school’s mission to ensure postsecondary success and financial responsibility

🧰 Why they love this course:

• Plug-and-play video content that breaks down complex concepts into student-friendly explanations

• Hands-on exercises that align with college and career readiness standards

• Clear, accessible language that supports all learners—including first-generation college students

• A non-commercial, non-biased focus grounded in federal financial aid resources
