Personal Finance and spreadsheets go together like peanut butter and jelly, but not all teachers have time or resources to fit spreadsheet activities into their curriculum.

Do you draw on years or decades of business experience? And, do any of these paths create more or less confident teachers in terms of content knowledge?
