What Does Financial Literacy in the Classroom Look Like? with Abby Coyle and Katie Gracey

April 26, 2023 • FitMoney • Season 1 • Episode 8

On today’s episode, FitMoney Executive Director Jessica Pelletier sits down with Abby Coyle and Katie Gracey, the Founders of Class Equity, a new classroom tool teaching responsibility, saving, and healthy spending through creating your own classroom economy. Together, they discuss how we can implement financial literacy into what students already understand and the power of giving them control, empowering teachers with what they need to explore how it looks within their classroom, and how behavioral education is best learned in our everyday life.
