18 Income for most people is determined by the market value of their labor, paid as wages and salaries. People can increase their income and job opportunities by choosing to acquire more education, work experience, and job skills. The decision to undertake an activity that increases income or job opportunities is affected by the expected benefits and costs of such an activity. Income also is obtained from other sources such as interest, rents, capital gains, dividends and profits. STANDARDS

20 People cannot buy or make all the goods and services they want; as a result, people choose to buy some goods and services and not buy others. People can improve their economic well-being by making informed decisions, which entails collecting information, planning, and budgeting. STANDARDS

24 Credit allows people to purchase goods and services that they can use today and pay for those goods and services in the future with interest. People choose among different credit options that have different costs. Lenders approve or deny applications for loans based on an evaluation of the borrower’s past credit history and expected ability to pay in the future. Higher-risk borrowers are charged higher interest rates; lower risk borrowers are charged lower interest rates. STANDARDS

26 Financial investment is the purchase of financial assets to increase income or wealth in the future. People who save have many choices when making financial investments because these investments have different risks and expected rates of return. Investments with higher expected rates of return tend to have greater risk. Diversification of investment among a number of choices can lower investment risk. STANDARDS

28 People make choices to protect themselves from the financial risk of lost income, assets, health, or identity. They can choose to accept risk, reduce risk, or transfer the risk to others. Insurance allows people to transfer risk by paying a smaller price now to avoid the possibility of a larger loss later. The price of insurance is influenced by an individual’s behavior. STANDARDS

34  Oh, my.  It would seem that word has gotten out that financial literacy will have to be taught…  You will be inundated with materials! (Disclosure: I do workshops with materials.)

35 1.Consider the Source for Conflicts of Interest and Qualifications ◦ Who is the author(s)? ◦ What are their qualifications as an expert in financial literacy topics? ◦ What are their qualifications as an educator? ◦ Is the author(s) affiliated with any group? ◦ Does the group have inherent biases in how information is presented?

36 2.Examine the Content for Accuracy, Completeness, as well as Biases ◦ Does the curriculum meet standards? ◦ Is the factual knowledge presented in the materials accurate? ◦ Does the curriculum advocate a particular financial strategy? ◦ Does the material promote independent decision making?

37 3.Review the Pedagogy ◦ Does the material use a variety of pedagogies? ◦ Address a variety of learning styles? ◦ Is the curriculum designed for the appropriate grade level or audience? ◦ Are the pedagogies age-appropriate? ◦ Does the author make an effort to provide stimulating and real-life examples?

39 4.Look for Assessment ◦ Does the curriculum come with appropriate assessment mechanisms? ◦ Do the assessment mechanisms test various cognitive levels?

40 5.Find the Evidence of Effectiveness ◦ Does the curriculum result in a change in student knowledge? ◦ Does the curriculum result in a change in student attitudes? ◦ Does the curriculum result in a change in student behavior? ◦ Does the curriculum increase the teacher’s confidence in delivering content by providing appropriate background?
