During Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 - October 15), NGPF is surfacing resources you can use to make your teaching more inclusive for Hispanic students and their families. 

P.S. Not sure how to explain to your students the differences between Hispanic, Latino, Hispano, and Latinx? Watch this explanation.

Resources to Use

Posters for Your Classroom

We’ve created a series of printable posters you can use to decorate your classroom during Hispanic Heritage Month or year-round. They highlight quotes from Spanish proverbs and notable cultural figures.

Podcasts

Recently, we’ve featured Latinx personal finance experts as part of our Speaker Series and podcast. You may be interested in listening to: 

• Jaclyn Piñero, CEO of uAspire highlights how the organization aids in demystifying financial aid and scholarships for both students and educators
• Daniella Cardona, an undocumented high school student turned Vice President at the Royal Bank of Canada, shares her inspiring journey
• Sonia Castelan, a tax professional, shares her journey from struggling with personal finances to becoming an expert in tax planning and preparation

The Spanish Directory

A one-stop shop to make it easier for you to find all NGPF Spanish language resources in one place, including the resources below. 

Top 5 FinCap Fridays in Spanish

We’ve received many requests for FinCap Fridays in Spanish, so our team translated and recorded the five most popular videos for you to share with your students. 

ELL Video Series

A six-part series of brief videos in both English and Spanish you can use to bridge the information gap about the U.S.-specific finance topics, such as taxes and insurance, that may be unfamiliar to English Language Learners and their families. Transcripts for all six videos are available in both English and Spanish. 

Personal Finance Dictionary

The NGPF Personal Finance Dictionary includes terms and definitions in both English and Spanish for all 12 of NGPF’s units and select mini-units as well as a Glossary to provide testing accommodations for English Language Learners (ELL). 

Payback Arcade Game in Spanish

Our popular arcade game Payback is available in Spanish and fits in nicely with our Paying for College unit. Playing Payback allows students to simulate making decisions to get to and through college without drowning in debt.

Curriculum in Spanish

Our goal is to make financial education as accessible and inclusive as possible. For that reason, much of our curriculum has been translated into Spanish.
