2. Help Your Students WIN the National Financial Capability Challenge
Deadline for EDUCATORS to sign on EXTENDED to April 9
APRIL IS FINANCIAL LITERACY MONTH! Starting this week, students from across the country may begin the National Financial Capability Challenge for a chance to be recognized by the Obama Administration for their outstanding achievement. The Challenge, which was unveiled in December 2009 by Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, is an awards program designed to increase the financial knowledge and capability of high school-aged youth across the United States. It challenges high school teachers and other educators to teach the basics of personal finance -- and rewards students, educators, schools, and states for their participation and performance.
With more than 5,000 educators already registered, students from across the country are expected to take the voluntary online exam in the coming weeks. The Administration also announced today that the deadline for educators to sign on has been extended to April 9, 2010, which is the final day to administer the exam.
Educators who registered for the Challenge received a free Educator Toolkit to complement their own lesson plans to teach students the basics of personal finance in preparation for the voluntary online Challenge exam and beyond. The window for educators to begin administering the exam begins today and ends on April 9. Once the exam results are in, educators and top-scoring students will be recognized for their achievements, along with states that had the highest Challenge participation.
All high school teachers and other educators working with U.S. high-school aged students (ages 13-19) are encouraged to register for the Challenge, download the Educator Toolkit, prepare their students, and administer the online exam. Educators who have been teaching students about personal finance for years, as well as those who never have before are urged to join this national initiative today.
