Hurricane Katrina can help your students make financial decisions for life. Educators receive instruction in using Katrina's Classroom, a DVD-based curriculum to teach students the importance of being financially prepared. Through the eyes of three teenagers, students will learn about some of the most important aspects of financial responsibility, such as budgeting, banking, savings, and the wise use of credit. The curriculum is tied to financial literacy standards. The curriculum is designed for students in grades 9–12, though all teachers are welcome to attend the workshop.
Lunch and breakfast will be provided, and each attendee will receive free educational materials. Space is limited to the first 40 registrants.
Registration deadline is Friday, July 11, 2008.
