Jump$tart Washington Educator Conference & Workshop

The JumpStart Washington Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy is pleased to announce our Annual Educator Conference & Workshop preceding the ACTE/FASCE Summer Career and Technical Education Conference in Spokane at the Davenport Grand Hotel on August 6 from 12-4 PM with a beer/wine social to follow.

Legislation was passed last year to incorporate financial education into existing state learning standards, and those standards are being set and aligned with curriculum. This event will bring you up to date and walk you through two national curricula you can take back to use in your classrooms!  Our guest presenters will discuss: 

• What the status is of curricula alignment with state standards, and what that could mean for teachers. 
• The Money Smart For Young People curriculum from the FDIC and various applications of the curriculum for teachers, students , parents and children
• How the NEFE High School Financial Planning Program (HSFPP) can help you bring a strong core curriculum to your high school and empower your students. 
• Learn how BizKid$ can help engage your students at our social networking hour!

Presenters include:

  

• Linda Preston, Community Affairs Specialist, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
