K-12 and Community College Virtual Program
September 15, 2022
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm ET via Zoom
0.5 CEU/5 PDCH offered
No fee, but registration required.
In 2019, the NC General Assembly mandated that K-12 students receive instruction on economics and personal finance. The NC State Board of Education developed economics and personal finance standards with the goal of providing students the opportunity to engage in application of the skills, concepts, processes, and knowledge in social studies courses and prepare them to be college, career, and civic ready.
K-12 and community college educators are invited to register for this program that will discuss global dimensions of personal finance.
Thanks to the generosity of UNC World View private donors, this program is fully funded, and there is no registration fee to educators.
