Behavioral Economics is a great unit to kick off your personal finance course since it encourages students to explore why we make the money choices we do. Students learn about cognitive biases, explore how values influence their financial decisions, and practice financial decision making. Behavioral Economics is also the first unit in the NGPF Semester Course!

Join Albert this Wednesday, August 14 to explore five favorite resources in the Behavioral Economics unit. You will leave the session feeling more confident to teach this complex topic and with engaging resources to empower your students!
