What Teachers and Students are Saying...
I was looking for an alternative option to the reconciling-the-checkbook test I have always given, and I found NGPF's activity 'Managing Your Checking Account.' It was PERFECT! Instead of going home tonight and creating a new assessment from scratch, I can now chill with my husband and dogs. Seriously, you all have no idea how much time and work NGPF saves teachers!

I am the only business/finance teacher in my district in rural Northwest Ohio, and NGPF's resources have helped me advance the curriculum that I have been teaching with for the past 8 years!

NGPF has made the uncommon commitment to provide a curriculum that evolves with the rapid pace of our changing financial world. Their work serves as a beacon of excellence for teachers who want meaningful lessons that bring financial literacy to life in their classrooms.

Personal Finance Teacher, Reading High School (Reading, OH)
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.

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.

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.
