Financial Literacy Resources for Teachers, Parents and Students
|
Teaching personal financial literacy in schools is essential for preparing students to manage their finances effectively. Here are some key strategies and resources to help you as you prepare.
|
- Use Real-Life Examples
Relate financial concepts to students' lives. Discuss budgeting for a school event or saving for a class trip to make the lessons more relatable. Encourage students to set financial goals and create plans to achieve them. This can include saving for college, a car, or even a small purchase. Active learning and real-life experiences help students plan their financial lives after high school.
- Interactive Lessons
Incorporate games, simulations, and activities that engage students. The resources below provide links to lessons and activities.
- Guest Speakers
Invite financial professionals to speak to students about real-world financial management and career opportunities in finance. OKMM staff can help. Contact us to set up a workshop for your students.

By integrating these strategies, educators can help students build a strong foundation in personal finance, empowering them to make informed financial decisions in the future.

As a student, it’s essential to start practicing healthy money habits now. Learning to manage money makes it easier to avoid debt, build wealth, and live a lifestyle you can afford once you’re out on your own. Check out these resources to learn more.

Talk to your kids about money now. The way parents view and talk about money impacts their children’s success or failure in managing their own funds in the future.
