The Economics + Maths = Financial Capability course aimed to strengthen teachers’ interdisciplinary knowledge of finance-related curriculum and content, as well as their awareness of contemporary financial contexts.

From pocket money apps to gaming platforms, we introduced teachers to new ways young people are learning about money within their families and communities and modelled modern finance-related lessons.

Teachers who completed the course reported that it strengthened their classroom teaching and prepared them to influence improvements to their school’s programs.
