Teach from a coherent sequence
Textbook chapters, student practice, teacher support, assessments, and presentations are designed to work together instead of as disconnected resources.
Adapt to your schedule
Use the curriculum as the backbone of a semester course, expand it across a full year, or use selected materials to complement an existing CTE pathway.
Keep learning practical
Activities and examples emphasize decisions students can encounter in careers, employment, budgeting, banking, credit, saving, investing, taxes, and risk.
