I received an email from a personal finance curriculum in my inbox this morning (nothing unusual here, I get a lot of them:). The provider was encouraging their educators to update their curriculum since they had heard some were still using their 2001 edition (Remember Friends? That was the top TV show in 2001). Yikes! Quick digression, ok, let’s call it a commercial: Since NGPF makes all of its content available online, we make real-time updates when circumstances change, such as when the FAFSA becomes available three months earlier.
I thought it would be interesting to think about how the financial services industry has changed since 2001. In other words, what are students missing if they are being taught from a 2001 edition?
I could go on and on, but I limited myself to one hour (send me anything I left out)..I hope this post convinces educators of the importance of keeping your curriculum fresh. What a great way to engage your students by educating them on how to navigate this ever changing financial services landscape. Note how many of the changes described above have happened even in the past few years. NGPF makes it easy for you by constantly updating our content to ensure you are delivering the most up-to-date, relevant and engaging curriculum to your students.
Updated (12/12/16 and then 1/3/2017): Hat tip to CB Insights for this chart showing how much the market value of retailers has changed in the past decade:

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
