You will then examine existing curricula on the topic, review articles and online resources, and listen to presentations from experts in the field. As a final capstone project, you will use National Standards in K-12 Personal Finance Education to design an Action Plan focused on integrating financial literacy knowledge and skills into your curriculum. Upon successful completion of this course, you will receive 3 graduate level credits. In order for the college to award these graduate credits, you will need to provide an official transcript that proves you are eligible to take a graduate course.
