Clearinghouse
A goal of the National Jump$tart Coalition is to
identify high-quality personal finance materials for educational use.
The Clearinghouse is a database of personal finance resources available
from a variety of education providers such as government, business and
non-profit organizations. The Clearinghouse provides brief descriptions
of more than 600 titles which can be ordered directly from the author
or publisher. Nearly 250 resources are offered absolutely free. A
growing number of resources can be downloaded instantly from the web.
Others are interactive websites where students can learn from
simulations of real-life experiences such as designing a college
student budget or investing in financial markets. Teachers often use
these personal finance teaching materials to support their state's
standards in economics, business, math and family and consumer science.
