While not technically part of the coalition itself, teachers are on the “front lines” of the financial literacy effort and are responsible for a good deal of its success. To highlight their efforts in our communities, we feature one of our educators in our monthly Teacher Spotlight.
Today, personal finance is being taught as a standalone course or incorporated into other subject matter in public, private and charter schools across the country, at every level from preschool to post-secondary.
The Jump$tart Coalition—along with our national partners and state affiliates—is proud to support these dedicated and talented professionals.
