What are each of these pieces?
At the middle school level, FitMoney offers 19 real-world case studies that can be used in a variety of formats and classroom settings. Our goal is that much of the learning be generated from classroom discussion and for the cases to relate to life experiences faced by teens and young adults. These lessons, based around student-centered case studies, can be taught in any sequence and are designed to be implemented in two 20- or one 40-minute sessions, with opportunities for extension.
NEW: Updated in October 2023, all case studies align to new Jump$tart and CEE standards.

Each is aligned to the new Jump$tart and CEE standards.
Financially Fit CERTIFICATE
The Financially Fit Certificate course has recently been updated. The course now includes 12 videos and 3 bonus videos on Taxes. Students can now access the course on our new platform linked below.
If you'd like to guide your students through the course, you can use this slide deck and sample note taking tool.

The New Financially Fit Certificate Platform will:

save students' place in the course so they can pick up where they left off,
-
unlock the assessment once all the videos are watched,
-
allow your students to automatically download their certificate once they pass the assessment.
