\u200bIntroduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Financial literacy, or financial capability as it is currently defined at the federal level, is the capacity, based on knowledge, skills and access, to manage financial resources effectively. To develop this capacity, individuals must have appropriate access to and understanding of financial products, services, and concepts. Financial literacy empowers individuals to make\u00a0informed choices, avoid pitfalls, know where to go for help, and take actions to improve their\u00a0present and long-term financial well-being.<\/p>\n

The Hawaii State Department of Education, Office of Curriculum and Instructional Design, is currently investigating ways to ensure every student receives basic financial literacy before high\u00a0school graduation. At this time, efforts are focused on financial literacy education at the high school level.<\/p>\n

As part of this work, draft content standards have been curated for a one-semester introductory\u00a0level high school course on financial literacy designed to help students develop the capacity to describe, analyze, and evaluate many financial topics that most students will directly experience\u00a0in their personal and professional lives. While a one-semester course is not the only way in\u00a0which financial literacy education can be provided to students, the standards are a vital step toward ensuring consistent financial literacy education across the state.<\/p>\n

\"2017_NationalStandardsBook.png\"<\/a>The content standards<\/strong> are derived from the 2017 edition of the National Standards in K-12 Personal Finance Education<\/a>\u00a0(pdf, pictured to the right) from the Jump$tart Coalition. These standards are consistent with both state- and nationally-recognized concepts that are important to healthy financial literacy.<\/p>\n

The themes<\/strong> are aligned to the six major categories utilized in Jump$tart\u02bbs National Standards: 1) Spending and Saving; 2) Credit and Debt; 3) Employment and Income; 4) Investing; 5) Risk Management and Insurance; and 6) Financial Decision Making.<\/p>\n

The sample teacher guidance<\/strong> is a list of skills gleaned from Jump$tart\u02bbs benchmarks which describes what teachers may ask students to demonstrate in order to meet each content standard. The guidance is not intended to serve as an all-inclusive list; rather, the guidance\u00a0serves as a sample set of statements for teachers to consider how to best help their students meet the content standards.<\/p>\n

Special thanks to Kelly Lee, founder of the Hawaii Coalition of Jump$tart, for lending her content area expertise to this effort.<\/p>\n
