Has This Been Done Before?
Yes, the DFI has sponsored this initiative since 2004. Each year the DFI gave free curriculum materials to classroom teachers across the state of Washington and each year the program was met with great success. The assessment test results demonstrated significant improvement in student attitudes towards saving and investing post instruction.
