The Facilitator Guide comprises Module 1, Module 2, and Module 3. Module 1 is considered the core module. Modules 2 and 3 focus on primary and secondary schools respectively. It is preferable that Module 1 is presented before the other modules. Facilitators and learners will find that the structure of the Package allows for elements from the three modules to be selected and combined as desired. Principles of adult learning are encouraged in the implementation of the modules. Module 1: Education for consumer and financial literacy in schoolsModule 1 provides a context for the significant growth and interest in teaching and learning consumer and financial literacy. It includes background, rationale and purpose, and opportunities for integrating and embedding it into the existing curriculum for the compulsory years of schooling. It encourages participants to build their own pedagogical content and community partnerships for long-term sustainability. Module 2: Consumer and financial literacy in primary schoolsModule 3: Consumer and financial literacy in secondary schoolsModules 2 and 3 provide examples of strategies for building integrated units based on existing State and Territory curriculums and the Framework. Examples of units of work where key consumer and financial literacy concepts are integrated in English and Mathematics are provided in the Teacher Guide. They also highlight accessible resources which will engage and appeal to students. |
