Pilot Curriculum with Narrative
These personal finance materials were developed using Tennessee’s Personal Finance course standards. The Financial Education for College Access and Success curriculum has four (4) modules which include: (1) Earnings; (2) Savings & Investing; (3) Spending & Protecting and (4) Borrowing, Theft and Scams. Each module includes its own set of lessons and each lesson has a PowerPoint presentation and instructor narrative. In addition, the goal is for each lesson to also include a PowerPoint with narration. There are also vocabulary terms and additional website resources that can be found at the end of each module. Please note that we are in the process of reviewing and updating all of our materials so many of these materials are still in draft format.
