United Nations SDGs - Strategic Development Goals
Ø Financial literacy is a key pillar for financial inclusion, and a critical success factor to achieve at least 9 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Ø For instance, eliminating poverty and achieving gender equality is simply not possible when 2/3 of adults worldwide remain financially illiterate and women continue to trail men in financial decision making.
We assist educators and those interested in teaching financial literacy in creating a direct path to learning.
As a Personal Finance teacher for high school students, I found Teen Money 101 to be a valuable resource. Stacia Morris has written a book that is user friendly and outlines the necessary units of study for a quality high school curriculum.
I have incorporated many of her learning objectives and activities into my lesson planning. Stacia has been my financial mentor as I learn and grow as a finance educator. Everyone needs to be financially literate, and she showcases the steps needed to achieve this.
I am so grateful to have this connection and collaboration.

I would highly recommend Stacia Morris, M.B.A, and her program of Financial Literacy to universities and school districts for the edification of its faculty and student body."
“Dear Director, Stacia Morris, a colleague with whom I had previously worked in the area of economics education, has sent along an RFP in that subject area (see below). She and I worked together on a grant to train and support middle school teachers in implementing a financial literacy unit. Stacia is the author of a financial literacy text for youth--Teen Money 101--and is a wonderful trainer and teacher whose work I highly recommend. Financial literacy is a neglected area of education that many feel is vitally important both to individuals and broadly to our economy. The Council of Economic Education, the granting organization, is very eager to support local school based programs…
