Taking place annually in April, Financial Literacy Month was founded by the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) and is produced by the Jump$tart Coalition. To support financial literacy wherever learning takes place, Discovery Education presents a curated collection of resources focused on financial literacy created in collaboration with leading social impact partners: 

Classroom Activity
Help students connect economics concepts to current events and everyday life with timely activities, videos, interactive modules and more. From price discovery to supply chain dynamics, resources from Econ Essentials, an educational initiative with Futures Fundamentals, examine real-world applications of complex market topics. Students will explore how changes in supply and demand curves impact prices, while a new hot topic activity looks at the ways businesses react to and mitigate the risks of such price fluctuations caused by supply chain disruptions. 

Professional Learning
In this on-demand series, educators hear firsthand the benefits financial education has both on students and their teachers. Presented by Discover and Discovery Education in the Pathways to Financial Success initiative, this series sparks ideas, connects educators, and helps prompt conversations with administrators about the need for financial education. 

Community Contest
Encourage community collaboration with the 6th annual Cha-Ching Money Smart Kids Contest created with Jackson Charitable Foundation. The contest enables communities to vote for their elementary school to win $10,000 that can be used for critical educator resources that teach kids how to earn, save, spend, and donate. The contest is open through June 17, 2022, and communities can find more resources for elementary students at cha-chingusa.org.  

Gamify Learning
In partnership with the business-building video game Venture Valley, Discover Venture Valley empowers students to build financial and business basics. Students in grades 6-12 can benefit from the power of play as they engage with the game and a suite of standards-aligned resources to learn such principles as investments/dividends, fixed and variable expenses, loans, net vs gross income, and more curriculum topics. 

“I love supporting teachers when they incorporate financial literacy activities into lessons because I know that it’s not only helping students learn about critical topics, but it’s also helping to strengthen their ability to make smart financial decisions in the future,” said Michelle Wendt, Technology Integration Specialist at Stockton University School of Education. “With these resources and more from Discovery Education and their partners, equitable access to these critical skills can be extended to all children, wherever they are learning.” 

Educators and students can find these and more resources for recognizing Financial Literacy Month in the Discovery Education K-12 learning platform.

Discover Data, developed in collaboration with the Nielsen Foundation and the National AfterSchool Association, offers exciting, relatable resources to introduce middle and high school students across the country to the power of understanding data. Why, you ask? 

Data Science is one of the twenty fastest growing occupations in the world, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That said, nearly EVERY high-growth career uses data in some way on a regular basis. Whether you are in sales, teaching, or computer programming, many professions require the collection and analysis of data. We created the Discover Data program to empower educators to engage students and help them see how they can use data to solve problems and make decisions in school, at home and at work (one day not too far in the future!). 

Discover Data offers a suite of educator resources resources that make teaching data easy, engaging, and interactive. If you’re an educator seeking turnkey ways to infuse data concepts into your lessons, the site offers instructional support, real-world data sets, and multimedia content to bring data and data-driven careers to life for your students. 

Here are just a few of the classroom resources available for grades 6-12: 

• Curriculum Connectors provide several beginner and intermediate-level activities tied to a specific theme (holidays, gender equity, sustainability) and give educators the opportunity to integrate real-world data sets into existing curriculum or programming. 
• Video Career Profiles highlight the diverse personalities and careers in data and showcase ways that these real-world professionals use data both in and out of work. 
• Community Briefs allow learners of all ages across  communities to explore the world of data and get involved, no matter their level of experience. 

In a new feature, students can now even submit a question for a real-world data expert directly from the site, as well as explore existing answers to questions submitted by their peers. If you want to extend the learning even further, you can request a virtual volunteer visit with a data professional. Ready-to-use activities, a student interactive, and classroom activities are also available for students to get involved individually and with their peers. 

Data can be fun and interesting no matter the setting. Whether in or out of school, data can be used to explore everything from sports to business trends to our own personal habits and preferences. Connecting data with students’ lives and interests will help them to create a better understanding of what data is, and a greater motivation for them to learn about the capabilities and potential of data for their everyday lives and futures. 

Get your students started today at DiscoverDatainSchool.org or in the Discover Data channel in the Discovery Education learning platform.
