Financial Literacy in Content Area

Alexander Oliver
As a Social Studies teacher I teach an Economics course and in that course we perpetually discuss finances and financial literacy. Another course I teach is History. In my history course we discuss major World and American events. We explore how money caused exploration, greed, and corruption.  We also discuss financial literacy as a topic when it comes to taxes and passing new laws and policies.  Financial literacy can be reinforced through many topics in my class and be used as a tool to explain many World events.
