I teach high school language arts. While I don't have any concrete ideas about how to incorporate this into my curriculum right, I anticipate getting some good ideas as I go through this course. When I think about working with high school students, the best opportunities to teach this type of thing that is not inherent in curriculum but important nonetheless is usually in discussions that may have begun in a story we are reading but eventually lead the class somewhere else. Sometimes these are in the classroom, but just as often they are in the hallways chatting about something a student purchased, at a student council meeting discussing how we are going to pay for an activity they want to have, etc. Being able to have truthful discussions about finances with students is a must.
