Classroom Presentations

Our Financial Literacy Specialist conducts classroom presentations at elementary, middle and high schools as the primary outreach tool for Listerhill. The credit union also supplies the NEFE materials used in the presentations to educators. The NEFE HSFPP was designed and developed around a special type of education called performance-based learning.  With performance-based learning, students take what they learn and apply it directly in the course of each unit. Carefully designed exercises and activities move the student step-by-step toward each of the seven core competencies that the program teaches. In the process, students:

1. Create their own financial plan
2. Create their own budget
3. Propose a personal saving and investing plan
4. Select strategies to use in handling credit and managing their debt
5. Demonstrate how to use various financial services
6. Create a personal insurance plan
7. Examine how their choice of career and lifestyle will affect their financial plan

Along the way to learning these seven lessons, students also learn dozens of related skills, all designed to help them see how easy and important it is to manage their resources.
