Today, more than ever, high school students need to learn how to manage their own finances. The National Institute for Financial and Economic Literacy (NIFEL) has provided teachers with the background and resources to bring personal finance topics into their classroom for over a decade. Now for the first time, NIFEL is online. Teachers now have the opportunity to learn from experts around the country and earn a certificate of completion which may be useful in obtaining continuing education credits in your state.
