Lesson Planet Curated

Imagine a hurricane teaching high schoolers about financial preparedness! The four lessons in this collection are based on the personal stories in Katrina’s Classroom: Financial Lessons from a Hurricane video. Topics include goal setting, decision making, and budgeting, as well as financial institutions, credit, and careers. Each lesson is presented in multiple formats so instructors can choose the approach that works best for their students.
