Thoughts as I hit the final exam I'm just about to take my final exam as part of this training course. I think this course offers a lot of value to people who have only a foundational knowledge of finance and and little experience teaching. However, as someone who already has a good grip on financial knowledge and who works in instructional design, I was underwhelmed with the lack of depth in many of the finance-related topics and the overall presentation. That being said, I'm very excited to continue my journey as a PF coach, and I'm happy the NFEC is pursing its mission of expanding financial literacy! I'm also more than willing to lend my expertise in course design and delivery in order to improve the course as well.

"Learning is Earning." As a Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) I had a dream of teaching financial literacy. My enrollment in an Executive MBA program at Nichols College made that dream a reality when it challenged me to come up with a passion project. Research for the project led me to the National Financial Educators Council (NFEC). At that point I knew that I would use their curriculum when I started teaching financial literacy. What I've learned from the Certified Financial Educator Instruction (CFE) is, connecting with the learning is more important than just presenting what I know about personal finance. I am currently teaching personal financial literacy to 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. I plan to expand the program. As part of my recruitment and retention plan, before I place an instructor with learners, they will either have the CFEI designator or agree to complete the course as part of the hiring process. This is to ensure that we maintain a culture that fits our beliefs and values, that students will be financially capable before they reach adulthood, because they would have completed the work due to the framework that the CFEI provides.
