Where can I go to ask a question and tap into the collective wisdom of the community?

When we heard this multiple times from teachers, we thought “Let’s build a solution.” Today, we present the NGPF Q&A Forum. With the help of a few dozen educators who seeded the site with questions and answers, we already have a comprehensive and diverse set of answers to your questions such as:

• How do you get your high school juniors and seniors to see the relevance, real world need for the content?
• What are your top 5 essential topics?
• Do you know of any awards/competitions for students?

Your Forum is off to a great start! As of mid-day on January 14th, you can already find: more than 50 questions and 150 responses to questions.  How do we keep the momentum going?

The forum has been retired - please join the FinLit Fanatic Facebook Group.

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.
