Planning for a HS Financial Literacy Course

David Olson
In our district our school board has just passed a graduation requirement for a one semester financial literacy course for all students. With so many available resources, and keeping in mind the financial literacy standards, I wonder the best pathway to develop what students need most. The course will be available for 11th and 12th graders, so they will have some work experience perhaps, and maybe they own a car. I hope to prioritize the most useful information for that age group without going too far, like planning for retirement (which may be important, but not immediately relevant). We also teach financial literacy in a twelve week segment in grade 8, so it is important to build on that learning.
