Lesson plans, handouts, and resources designed to be used together.

Most resources for educators to introduce financial literacy into their curriculum are one-off lesson plans or units that don't fit into national standards. Working with licensed education professionals, Finlit designs lesson plans and units that match Common Core standards and Jump$tart National Standards in Personal Finance Education.

Financial literacy is more important now than ever.

The statistics are alarming. Although the United States has the largest economy in the world, roughly one in three Americans are considered financially fragile. This means they couldn't cope with emergency expenses like a medical bill or car repairs in a short amount of time¹.

Strong foundations start in the classroom.

Financial literacy and personal finance education is a lifelong learning process. Starting with the basics and building a foundational set of knowledge will help in all financial aspects throughout life.

Finlit is intended to be a resource to help educators introduce financial literacy into their curriculum. Based around four central topics that increase in complexity, educators can help their students to develop a strong foundation by understanding credit, learning all about budgeting, learn the ins and outs of banking, and about the concept of the time value of money.
