The Financial Empowerment Workbook: Fundamentals

By David Gatchell

A complete, ready-to-teach personal finance curriculum for high school classrooms - no finance background required.

The Financial Empowerment Workbook: Fundamentals is an 82-session, full-semester personal finance curriculum designed to give every high school student the practical money skills they need for life after graduation: budgeting, saving, credit, debt, taxes, insurance, and investing.

Built so any teacher can lead it - even without a finance background. Each session follows a clear, consistent structure with step-by-step instruction, guided practice, and built-in check-for-understanding activities, making it easy to implement without special training or extra prep time.

Aligned to national personal finance education standards, including those from the Council for Economic Education and the Jump$tart Coalition, so the curriculum meets the requirements behind the wave of new state-mandated personal finance courses. Organized into eleven chapters with chapter summaries, review sessions, and a complete answer key, this workbook is formatted for daily classroom use and works equally well in economics, personal finance, career readiness, and life skills courses.

Perfect for schools implementing new financial literacy requirements, homeschool programs, and any classroom looking for a turnkey, standards-based personal finance curriculum that works from day one.
