About the Course

Being an educator is a very difficult job. It’s even more difficult if you’re worried about your personal financial situation. Many educators are confused and/or intimidated by finances, and "don’t know what they don’t know." This stress can’t help but impact their job performance. So this class is designed to not only make a difference in your personal lives, but if it can help you relieve that stress, it will make you even better educators and do an even better job of meeting the needs of our students in these challenging times. This class will also help prepare you to better teach the Colorado Academic Standards for K-12 Personal Financial Literacy (PFL). It is also likely that you will learn something that will more than cover the cost of this course!

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • Identify the most important financial decisions necessary in order to live a life aligned with their values and goals.
  • Understand, appreciate, and be able to calculate the time value of money.
  • Understand, appreciate, and be able to calculate the effect of fees on investment returns.
  • Develop and implement a personal financial action plan.
  • Grade(s): Pre-K Kindergarten 1st Grade 2nd Grade 3rd Grade 4th Grade 5th Grade 6th Grade 7th Grade 8th Grade 9th Grade 10th Grade 11th Grade 12th Grade Elementary K-5 Secondary 6-12
  • Teacher Quality Standard(s): QS 1.A QS 1.B QS 1.C QS 3.C

This is without a doubt the best class I have ever taken, and I am lucky I was able to get in with the number of people who are waiting to do the same. I described this class and Karl's teaching this morning as one of the most altruistic endeavors I have experienced. Karl knows his stuff, but never tries to push his views. This class is here to help you understand your standing and how to provide yourself a comfortable future. The class resources and assignments are engaging and perfectly chosen to guide you along your own path to financial literacy. It is engaging and empowering, and everyone should have the opportunity to take it. Your children and grandchildren will thank you for taking this course.

Seriously one of the best courses I have ever taken! No matter how old you are, or how far into your teaching journey, you should absolutely take this course to expand your knowledge on all things personal finance!
Niall O'Dwyer
This class is the best Professional Development course I have ever taken, hands down. Every other course that I have taken has ultimately been designed with students as the primary beneficiaries. However, this course is designed to help you and your family. In a time of teacher shortages, and considering that we not as well paid as other professionals, this is a great course, which will bring clarity to your finances and help you plan for the future.
