Financial Educators

While not technically part of the coalition itself, teachers are on the “front lines” of the financial literacy effort and are responsible for a good deal of its success. To highlight their efforts in our communities, we feature one of our educators in our monthly Teacher Spotlight. Subscribe to see what they are doing.

Today, personal finance is being taught as a standalone course or incorporated into other subject matter in public, private and charter schools across the country, at every level from preschool to post-secondary.

The Jump$tart Coalition—along with our national partners and state affiliates—is proud to support these dedicated and talented professionals.
