FDIC Hosts Financial Education Webinars for Teachers — 2016-08-02

As the summer winds down and children prepare to start a new school year, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is highlighting the agency’s free financial education tools that can help teachers explain saving, borrowing, and other key financial concepts to young people with two, no-cost webinars. On Wednesday, August 3, and Thursday, August 4, from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. ET, the FDIC and the Jump$tart Coalition will host two webinars that introduce free tools for teaching key lessons about money to children from Pre-K to Grade 12. The interactive webinars will discuss the Money Smart for Young People curriculum series and offer ideas for educators. These free tools can help educators teach young people skills for making lifelong, sound financial decisions. The FDIC believes that financial education has the power to help children and youth achieve their financial goals throughout their lives.
