We are honored to be listed as one of the top 4 providers of financial education curricula in this influential NEFE research report.  We love being able to serve the educator community with curated, comprehensive, current and customizable resources (and don’t forget about our extensive professional development offerings also).

From NEFE Report on Perspectives on Evaluation in Financial Education: Landscape, Issues, and Studies (page 12):

“A variety of non-profit organizations offer financial education curricula. First, the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) offers the High School Financial Planning Program (HSFPP). Second, the Council for Economic Education (CEE) provides a flagship personal finance high school curriculum entitled Financial Fitness for Life (FFFL). The curriculum also includes a nationally normed test instrument that can be used to assess student knowledge. Third, the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy 12 (Jump$tart) offers a variety of high school financial education resources via its online clearinghouse. Fourth, Next Generation Personal Finance (NGPF) is a relatively new online site that supplies a curriculum and extensive lesson materials for teachers on major topics in personal finance.”

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.
