During Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 - October 15), NGPF is surfacing resources you can use to make your teaching more inclusive for Hispanic students and their families. 

P.S. Not sure how to explain to your students the differences between Hispanic, Latino, Hispano, and Latinx? Watch this explanation.

Resources to Use

Posters for Your Classroom

We’ve created a series of printable posters you can use to decorate your classroom during Hispanic Heritage Month or year-round. They highlight quotes from Spanish proverbs and notable cultural figures.

Podcasts

Recently, we’ve featured Latinx personal finance experts as part of our Speaker Series and podcast. You may be interested in listening to: 

• Our own Yanely Espinal gives us a inside scoop on her debut book, Mind Your Money: Insightful Stories and Strategies to Help You Reach Your #MoneyGoals
• Lawyer-turned-author Cindy Zuniga-Sanchez who talks about her new book Overcoming Debt, Achieving Financial Freedom: 8 Pillars to Build Wealth
• Dana Miranda shares her perspective on personal finance and budgeting culture

The Spanish & ELL Directory

A one-stop shop to make it easier for you to find all NGPF Spanish language resources in one place, including the resources below. 

NEW Top 5 FinCap Fridays in Spanish

We’ve received many requests for FinCap Fridays in Spanish, so our team translated and recorded the five most popular videos for you to share with your students. 

ELL Video Series

A six-part series of brief videos in both English and Spanish you can use to bridge the information gap about the U.S.-specific finance topics, such as taxes and insurance, that may be unfamiliar to English Language Learners and their families. Transcripts for all six videos are available in both English and Spanish. 

Personal Finance Dictionary

The NGPF Personal Finance Dictionary includes terms and definitions in both English and Spanish for all 12 of NGPF’s units and select mini-units as well as a Glossary to provide testing accommodations for English Language Learners (ELL). 

Payback Arcade Game in Spanish

Our popular arcade game Payback is available in Spanish and fits in nicely with our Paying for College unit. Playing Payback allows students to simulate making decisions to get to and through college without drowning in debt.

Curriculum in Spanish

Our goal is to make financial education as accessible and inclusive as possible. For that reason, much of our curriculum has been translated into Spanish.
