Curriculum Planning in Consumer Economics
No. 4006, 2003, 132 pp., $36
Financial literacy is important for continued
growth and a stable economy, so students must learn how to provide
financially to meet their needs. They must develop the skills
needed to manage personal finances and take informed and responsible
action when addressing complex financial opportunities and challenges.
Curriculum Planning in Consumer Economics focuses on an integral part of family work that
involves providing for family members' material well-being and
includes actions involving economic resources. It seeks to develop
consumer-citizens capable of addressing financial concerns of
family and society.
Curriculum Planning in Consumer Economics is an important contribution to the body of materials
available to teachers because it suggests an approach to curriculum
that challenges students to see the larger ramifications of their
daily economic choices on their local and global community. Students
investigate significant questions of concern to family and society
about personal finance, develop the skills needed to address
these questions, and engage in individual, family, and community
action and service learning projects.
