The Council for Economic Education (CEE) has introduced The Full-Semester Personal Finance Course, a comprehensive, standards-aligned curriculum designed to help high school teachers prepare students for real-world financial decisions.
Developed by teachers for teachers, this 16-week course includes 80 days of instruction across nine units, covering financial decision-making, budgeting, saving, earning income, investing, credit, and risk management.
The curriculum emphasizes active, project-based learning and includes ready-to-use presentation slides, teacher guides, student worksheets, answer keys, quizzes, unit assessments, and case studies that build toward a final project. It aligns with CEE and Jump$tart National Personal Finance Standards and supports preparation for the National Personal Finance Challenge.
For educators looking to strengthen personal finance instruction without developing an entire course from scratch, this resource offers a practical, classroom-tested approach. The digital package includes printable teacher and student materials and is listed at $249.
