The Anchorage School District is making a push for more of its students to learn about financial literacy in the classroom before they graduate.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - , Superintendent Deena Bishop outlined a financial literacy update to the district’s existing economics courses.
“The economics course does touch on financial literacy, but not in-depth enough to meet the standards that we added to this financial literacy update,” Bishop said during the meeting. “Those six things are earning income, spending, saving, investing, managing credit, and managing risk.” The district has a group of teachers revising academic plans for the literacy update, and this fall those plans are scheduled to be revised based on feedback. The district’s timeline said training for teachers will happen in November on an in-service day and will be launched district-wide in January of 2023.
