Reimagining Financial Literacy Professional Development through Micro-credentials

Digital Promise and the Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center (GFLEC) at George Washington University have collaborated to develop 20 personal finance micro-credentials for educators, covering skills in credit card use, saving, and mobile financial management. Each micro-credential is aligned to personal finance national standards, all of which explore topics and situations relevant to students’ daily lives.

Digital Promise’s Jennifer Kabaker, Director of Educator Micro-credentials, and Odelia Younge, Partnership Manager, recently discussed the financial literacy micro-credential stack with Tim Ranzetta of Next Gen Personal Finance in the Tim Talks To podcast.

Listen to the episode below to hear more about these micro-credentials and their value to educators and students.

Through the financial literacy micro-credentials, educators are given the support needed to teach foundational skills to their students for financial success in college and career.
