Brian Page

Personal Finance Teacher, Reading High School (Reading, Ohio)

Today I did your lesson where the students debate on whether or not a college student should have a credit card. Not only did the students do a great job, they EXCEEDED my expectations. I had a moderator and then the other students were the audience. I felt REALLY proud when students from the audience started asking awesome questions which showed me they were engaged and really thinking about the topic.

Laurie Gardner

Lots of kids here are getting to take this class – and thanks to resources such as yours – they are working with current relevant authentic material. I love it and the students love it too!

... teachers will appreciate the “turn-key” nature of the lessons, which require minimum effort to prepare and deliver.

Thank you for all of your help! I am a high school special education teacher and am finding your resources to be highly applicable for my math students!

I believe the NGPF semester course holds the promise of a resource that economics teachers can trust to teach personal finance and embed the required economics standards simultaneously.

Brett Burkey

Economics Teacher, Dreyfoos School of the Arts (West Palm Beach, FL)

Right now I am watching my first period personal finance students as they work on the Budgeting with Roommates activity. I wish you could see them. They are all thoroughly engaged in discussions about rent, food and parking. What a great activity! I always enjoy this activity as it gets the students thinking about real world issues that they have never really considered.

Jodie Holmquist

Business Teacher, Hinsdale Middle High School (Hinsdale, NH)

The mother of one of my students called me to get (Tim’s) contact information. On their daily commute home in the evening, her son was reteaching concepts from our personal finance class. Clearly her son saw the practical value of the lessons and wanted his mother to better handle the family finances.

Anna Takahashi

Director of College Counseling, Eastside College Preparatory School (East Palo Alto, CA)

LOVE the site. Keep up the great work! I can't describe how much our classes are enjoying the content.

So, I was excited when the publicly available Utah State Auditor's report crossed my desk (or more accurately appeared in my inbox). I immediately...
