Using Deliberative Techniques to Teach Financial Literacy

65/100
πŸ‘Ž Skip It

For a secondary school teacher who wants to move financial literacy out of the lecture format and into active debate and simulation, this genuinely fills a gap β€” the activities are teacher-ready and the methodology is sound. The trouble is it was published in 2008, which means some of the financial product landscape it references has shifted considerably, and the audience is so narrow (secondary educators specifically) that most readers on Penny's platform would have no use for it. Specialists, seek it out; everyone else, skip.
