Personal Finance Federal Reserve Study
- Several districts have agreed to participate in a Federal Reserve Study. Beginning with students who are in the graduating class of 2010, students are required to have earned one-half unit of credit in Personal Finance. The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis is collaborating with our Department to evaluate the impact of this requirement. One goal of this study is to identify refinements that can improve students’ mastery of Personal Finance. Another goal is to determine the types of professional development needed to assist teachers who are responsible for Personal Finance courses.
