- “Even if you have 80% of your curriculum already made, you can look at our semester long course and look at our units and even lessons to pick and choose the ones to use in your classroom” – Sonia
- “Units from the semester course could be used as fillers, for example Sonia got an e-mail from an AP Economics teacher asking how they could teach personal finance during the few weeks after AP testing” -Jessica
About the Author
Tim Ranzetta
Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
