2010 Jump$tart National Educator Conference: Save the Date!


Calling all classroom teachers* of any subject and any grade!  The Jump$tart Coalition is pleased to announce its second National Educator Conference devoted entirely to personal finance education, PreK through High School. 

The 2010 conference is generously underwritten by Experian and Wells Fargo, with support from many other Jump$tart Partner organizations—enabling classroom teachers to participate at a fraction of the cost.  The National Education Association will serve, once again, as our educational partner. 

The conference supports the teaching of personal finance by:

  • Demonstrating financial education resources—in breakout sessions and the exhibit hall—that teachers could begin to use immediately.
  • Providing participants with personal development—financial education that they can use themselves.
  • Providing teachers with a nationwide network of colleagues.
  • Treating teachers as valued professionals and demonstrating industry support for classroom education.
  • Subsidizing the cost for teachers to attend the conference at a time when school budgets are stretched extremely thin.

The conference supports Jump$tart partner organizations by:

  • Offering partners a platform to share their resources and expertise.
  • Including sponsors and exhibitors in meal events and other activities, fostering their interaction with teachers and each other.
  • Providing companies and organizations with goodwill exposure before the desirable teacher audience.
*If you are not a classroom personal finance educator in grades Pre-K through 12, you might be interested in attending some of the more general financial literacy events conducted by Jump$tart Coalition partners and affiliates.  One Jump$tart' Coalition national partner--the Society for Financial Education and Professional Development--is holding its Third Annual Financial Literacy Leadership Conference in Washington, DC in October.  (Please note that this information is for reference only; Jump$tart is not directly involved in the event.)  Click here to find more informaiton on the SFEPD Web site.
