They had a community affairs officer from a local bank present on financial literacy. The article, Education Leads to Investments", is available at http://www.ncsall.net/?id=630, volume 7B, 2004.

Subject: [PovertyRaceWomen 47]  MoneySmart Curriculum

This curriculum, MoneySmart put out by the FDIC, looked like a good resource, so I went online to locate it and check it out.  The curricula is available both online and in the form of a CD-ROM.  Both can be accessed from http://www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/moneysmart/mscbi/mscbi.html.  It is available in English and Spanish.  Definitely a helpful and well-done resource!  Thanks, Judy, for making us aware of it!Donna Donna BrianCenter for Literacy Studies at The University of Tennesseedjgbrian at utk.edu

Hello All,
I work for the State of New Jersey doing public policy planning for all issues related to workforce development—including gender parity (NJ is the only state that has a Council on Gender Parity in Labor and Education—which, by the way, does great work!), disability issues, and literacy.  I got involved with the FDIC and the FREE training they provide on Financial Literacy through local banks.  As part of the FDIC mandate, banks must do come community relations and for many, it is providing this training.  The last contact person I had was Valerie Williams who works for the FDIC out of NYC.  Her contact number was 917-320-2621.  You can also call the main number at 917-320-2500 and ask for their Division of Supervision and Consumer Protection.  The name of the program was either Smart Money or Money Smart
.not sure which and I took my CD of it home to have my teens go through it!
 
As this is a national program, and it is free, it is a good source for adult literacy providers looking for financial literacy curriculum and speakers!
 
Good luck!
Judy
