Financial advice is everywhere, but how do you know whom you can trust?

As educators, it's crucial to recognize that many of your students will be in the habit of turning to social media for financial advice. While it's understandable given the accessibility of information online, it's important to know exactly what type of people are qualified to give out financial advice. In the Season 3 Finale episode, Financial Educator and Author, Kevin Matthews, offers valuable insights on how to discern trustworthy financial information from potentially misleading content online.
 
 

Here's how to use this resource in your classroom right away:

1) You can refer to these teacher presentation slides that pair with Season 3, Episode 8 about online scams
2) Print copies of the student listening guide for your students or share the file with them digitally
3) Play the YouTube video linked above for the whole class, or give students the choice to watch or listen at their own devices (earplugs needed)
4) Use questions from the listening guide to facilitate a classroom conversation about how students can apply the tips from the episode in their own lives

This episode pairs nicely with content from NGPF's Investing unit.
