People in early recovery find that success in money management assists with sustaining a clean and sober lifestyle as well. I think the topic deserves concrete curriculum design attention. With grift, ( that's drift and graft combined) on the rise as well as so many other subtle, sneaky nasty scams going around faster than Cash Advance stores springing up, we need to counter this trend with basic money handling skills. Starting with student loans and their long, long term implications. a r ----- Original Message ----- From: "Deborah Schwartz" <deborah@alri.org> To: "Multiple recipients of list" <nifl-womenlit@literacy.nifl.gov> Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 1:26 PM Subject: [NIFL-WOMENLIT:2114] Free Home-buying Readiness and Money Managment Teaching Resource for ABE/ESOL Practioners > Hi folks, > I want to announce the Fannie Mae Foundation/Adult Literacy Resource > Institute's new publication of the Money Management and Home-buying > Readiness Sourecebook for Teachers of ESOL and ABE. > > Complete with case-studies of existing home-buying readiness projects, > teachers' lessons, student writing, fundraising and resource development > strategies and Web-based and hard-copy housing and consumer counseling > resources, the sourcebook is meant to assist porgram coordinators and > teachers as they integrate the topic of housing and money-management into > their existing adult literacy classrooms and programs. > > Although the sourcebook does not explicitly address issues of women and > money, I think it has relevance to women and literacy concerns in two ways: > the program models address asset-building and wealth creation for those who > are marginalized from the mainstream economies, and in addition, the tools > for teachers section gives actual, sample lessons that were used in adult > literacy programs based in women's shelters. > > To order a free copy of the Money Management and Home-buying Readiness > Sourcebook for Teachers of ESOL and ABE call: 1-800-665-0012 > > I would love to hear what you all think.
