Professional Development
Pool of Teachers for Finance Course
While multiple options exist, the Economics and Personal Finance course (6120-36 weeks) in the business curriculum meets all the economics and personal finance standards of learning. Some school divisions are using the BUS6120 course to meet the required instruction; however, there have been concerns expressed about the availability of teachers. The endorsement codes a teacher must hold on a license to teach the Economics and Personal Finance course have been expanded. See Expanded Pool of Teachers for Finance Course (PDF).Training Opportunities for Economics Education & Financial Literacy
