Financial literacy is important for everyone, especially for educators. Teachers need to feel confident when passing on knowledge to students. Personal finance lessons represent great ways to show students real-life applications of standards taught in math, economics, social studies, and beyond.
In this workshop, you will learn important lessons that will empower you to understand your own finances. You'll also learn pedagogy and lessons that will help you to bring your knowledge to your students.
This is the first workshop in a two-workshop series. You are encouraged, but not required, to attend both. The first event is on Tuesday, February 4. The second in the series (this one) is later the same week, on Thursday, February 6. Both workshops will be held at Fidelity Investment’s Jacksonville Branch in the Deerwood area.
Teachers who attend only one of the two workshops will receive a $100 stipend and a copy of both Financial Fitness for Life and a copy of Financial Freedom. Teachers who attend both seminars will be awarded a $200 stipend and a copy of both Financial Fitness for Life and Financial Freedom.
Space is limited so sign up soon!

Note: Fidelity will welcome you at 4:30 but the workshop will begin at 5:00.
The workshop welcome is from 4:30-5:00. The location is 4601 Touchton Road East, Jacksonville, Florida. Look for building number 400. NOTE: The building does NOT say "Fidelity" on the outside so you'll need to look for the building number, which you'l find right about the doorway.
When you arrive, you can park whereever you would like. Once you enter building 400, a Fidelity representative will greet you and escort you to the workshop location.
If you have any questions or are no longer able to attend, please email sreilly@fscj.edu as soon as possible.
