As a Financial Literacy Educator I've discovered that teaching concepts and outcomes of financial decisions often resonates with all age and income groups. Teaching investment instruments or vehicles can be distracting and often a disconnect for persons with limited monies. Ultimately if you save money, pay off debt/borrow as a last resort and learn to give in a charitable way money becomes manageable.<br /><br />Jose Northover, Give Youth TruthJose Northoverhttp://www.giveyouthtruth.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6950169.post-19010344267502195172012-06-15T11:03:53.258+02:002012-06-15T11:03:53.258+02:00Good analysis, but no solutions are presented !

The problem is, I feel, that whilst teachers are busy teaching, the world is moving on at a tremendous speed, and professional development opportunities are often too general, non-subject specific and don't address the issues covered in the article. Unless we start to provide high-quality, regular opportunities for teachers to develop their own skills, and some real time to do it in, I fear that we will not see education moving forward in the right direction for some time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6950169.post-69483143618296160252012-05-21T21:01:18.928+02:002012-05-21T21:01:18.928+02:00Yes, these are the things teachers should be focus...Yes, these are the things teachers should be focussing on. However, the trick is to link these to the content/learning outcomes that teachers are required by law to help students learn and master. This is where the real teacher work lies. To relate the learning to the student's world while ensuring the student addresses the content that the government will test while helping the student master the skills that are so important to the student's future life and career is all part of what today's teachers must do.Glen Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15920038798899467487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6950169.post-47343541854906339032012-05-21T09:53:29.965+02:002012-05-21T09:53:29.965+02:00Brilliant post.
