Hello World,
I am a graduate student in Urban Policy at the New School in New York City
with a focus on community development. I am a product of the Institute for
Collaborative Education which is an innovative New York City public high
school. I have been struck by the gap in knowledge of finance among high
school students. I would like to teach a course in community development
finance at my alma mater and I am looking any good curricula that teaches
basic financial skills and analysis to high school students. Things like
present value and interest and the like. Do any of you have
recommendations?

I rejected all industry product and created a lawyer driven curriculum with the idea of getting lawyers involved in our schools using their skills in a nonadversarial setting. It is not so much the materials, but the teaching that is the key. What are your goals? Mine is credit avoidance; cash is king/queen and jack; credit is a debt decision; avoid tricks and traps; become powerful and literate consumers; read everything you sign and insist on BIG print and enough time and a signed copy; always be ready and able to walk away from a deal; maintain your credit health like you maintain your teeth; reject the private bs that is FICO; know and learn about neuromarketing and saliency, etc. Like I said, a very different approach.

Ed Dodson here:
While not exactly what you are looking for, a long-time friend of mine in
California has been working the social studies teachers in the Los Angeles
area on a very interesting type of group learning program in economics. From
what I know, the students who take this course end up retaining a far higher
level of understanding of how the economy works than in traditional
lecture/discussion formats. Perhaps this approach could be adapted to teach
personal finance.
I think enough of this program that I created a page to promote it at my
School of Cooperative Individualism website:
http://www.cooperativeindividualism.org/interstudent.html ('http://www.cooperativeindividualism.org/interstudent.html')
Contact information is there if this seems to be of any interest.

Hi Krishna,
I'm not involved in teaching general finance topics, but I'd offer a few
suggestions. "Community development finance" could mean a lot of things,
and maybe you're thinking big... but I think that starting with the basics
is key. Gap in knowledge indeed-- it's not just high school students who
don't know how financial systems work, a lot of adults don't either!
What does a person's or household's financial picture include? What's
coming in and out? How does one create a budget? How does credit
work? What's a credit score? How do you end up with a good credit score
or a bad one? What kinds of credit products and services are there? What
is "predatory lending?" How do financial institutions works What's the
difference between a bank and a credit union? What happens to your money
when you put it in a bank account? Where can you put your money for
long-term savings? How does investing work? What can you invest in
besides "Wall Street"? What are these "Occupy Wall Street" movements
about? What's the deal with income inequality? How does income tax work? ...
These are some topics that I'd include, if I were designing a curriculum on
finance for high school kids. But I'm not the expert-- I teach
entrepreneurship (BTW, I agree with April, and in designing
entrepreneurship curricula, we've always developed our own-- a lot of the
pre-packaged curricula stink, IMO). Talk with my colleagues, Joe Cummins
and Brendan Wilbur, who jointly teach our "Money Wise" course; Joe also
runs our youth credit union program, and has been teaching finance topics
to kids for years. You'll find their contact info on our website,
www.alternatives.org .
good luck!
cheers,
Leslie

Dear Krishna:
*
You have asked a good question.* I have read the offered responses to it pubished on this list.* I'm trying to better understand your question as it relates to "community development finance".* Are you looking for information about personal finances or household finances or how to finance community development projects?
*
As a graduate of a Public Policy program and a community development practitioner, I can see the question can be answered in more than one way, depending upon the kind of information you're looking for.

The National Development Councils courses would be great to adapt to a graduate course leading to a specialization for Public Policy, Business and Urban planning majors. i have been trying to get the Ohio State program to adopt it. Years ago, students at Yale University asked the school to bring the Economic Development course on campus. It was offered across several disciplines to interested students. I believe the grads would benefit from a marketable skill if granted a certification as NDC provides as part of their MA program. When I worked for the Ohio Department of Development, we brought the course to Ohio so local governments could access the 4 one week parts of the course and get certified. I had to cobble a real estate finance course from the business school to enhance my specialization in the MA Public Administration program. The NDC course would be value added. They also offer a Housing Finance course which would have equal application to a graduate program in any of the above areas of study.

I am a graduate student in Urban Policy at the New School in New York City
with a focus on community development. I am a product of the Institute for
Collaborative Education which is an innovative New York City public high
school. I have been struck by the gap in knowledge of finance among high
school students. I would like to teach a course in community development
finance at my alma mater and I am looking any good curricula that teaches
basic financial skills and analysis to high school students. Things like
present value and interest and the like. Do any of you have recommendations?
Ed Dodson here:
While not exactly what you are looking for, a long-time friend of mine in
California has been working the social studies teachers in the Los Angeles
area on a very interesting type of group learning program in economics. From
what I know, the students who take this course end up retaining a far higher
level of understanding of how the economy works than in traditional
lecture/discussion formats. Perhaps this approach could be adapted to teach
personal finance.
I think enough of this program that I created a page to promote it at my
School of Cooperative Individualism website:

Contact information is there if this seems to be of any interest.

Krishna,
Google the Council for Economic Education as it has a K-12 (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12) program for teachers and students called "Financial Fitness for Life (FFFL) plus another portal for parents on our EconEdLink found on our website. The curriculum was written by financial education specialists from various universities and field tested by teachers. The Council gives free workshops on these materials in New York City. Send me an e-mail at dyoung@councilforeconed.org. I now run the HSBC Center for Economic and Financial Education. We train teachers and after school providers of personal finance. Our workshops are free and you can see more about our workshops on our website by clicking on the HSBC Center link. Our materials are presented at State Social Studies Conferences and we work with State Education Departments in many states. We are presenting our free, online personal finance simulation (The Gen I Revolution) at the National Council for the Social Studies next month. Our standards are tied to the state standards for all 50 states and the Jump Start Standards. We are also on the Committee for the National Common Core Standards in Social Studies.
I would really like to talk with you as I have reached out to the New School with little luck. Drop me a line and we can then talk.
I would invite everyone in this conversation to also check out our website as I would be happy to share how we are looking to reach out to organizations across the country. Our affiliates and State Councils and Centers also provide training on these programs.
Yours,
Doug Young

At the recent Jump$tart National Educators Conference, the Financial
Services Roundtable provided a list of 36 free, comprehensive financial
education curricula; most are for high school. It was compiled with
Operation HOPE. Very helpful to see them all in one place. (If you have a
curriculum to add to the list, there's an FSR contact on the document.)
Links to that document can be found here:
