How much of a loan can families afford? How do they avoid becoming over-extended with debt? This workshop will provide teachers with a background to understanding access to credit (loans) that could fund major expenses such as a college/university education, a graduate degree, an apprenticeship program, or home renovations, with an emphasis on student loans as the illustration. We will evaluate how to repay this type of credit by analyzing personal income and consumer budgets using online resources such as O*NET. This requires a discussion of what affects wages and salaries, earnings by college major, and employment projections and occupations that are in-demand for the next 10 years.Presenters: Deborah Figart, Professor of Education and Economics and Director, New Jersey Coalition for Financial Education southern regional officeAudience: Grades 6-12 recommendedParticipants receive: Personal finance resources developed and published for the Council for Economic Education, lunch, creative lesson ideas and networking with colleagues

This workshop uses two publications, Pocket Power (grades K-2) and Steps to Financial Fitness (grades 3-5), that help stimulate this intellectual curiosity without sacrificing any of the more playful aspects of learning. The active learning lessons use engaging strategies that enable students to develop the skills and understanding needed for sound financial decision-making. They also provide the stepping-stones to the more complicated world of personal finance that younger students will later encounter.Presenters: Bonnie Meszaros and Barbara EmeryAudience: Grades K-5 recommendedParticipants receive: The new Financial Fitness for Life K-2 and 3-5 publications, lunch, creative lesson ideas and networking with colleagues
