TEACHERS CAN BE FINANCIALLY FIT: JULY 17TH

Economics Wisconsin, the Free Enterprise Center at Concordia University, and the Council on Economic Education are teaming up for the first time to offer teachers in northwest Wisconsin an opportunity to improve their confidence in basic principles of personal finance. The ultimate goal will be for participating teachers to be able to share their confidence and knowledge with their students. We often see teachers – particularly those early in their careers – struggle financially because nothing they learned in college taught them how to best manage their own finances. We aim to change that!

TCBFF Program Features:

  • An anonymous, virtual brief pre-knowledge and behavior assessment.
  • A complimentary copy of the book: Teachers Can Be Financially Fit.
  • Complementary personal finance curriculum materials.
  • All program content will be consistent to the Wisconsin Standards for Personal Financial Literacy.
  • And much more…

TCBFF Rewards:

  • $200 Amazon giftcard stipend for attending a one-day summer workshop with a complimentary one-night (July 16th) stay at a resort/conference center in northwestern Wisconsin.

All cancellation MUST be done by June 25th.
