Community reviews for Next Gen Personal Finance

It would be nice if everything was in one shared google drive with the units in separate folders. I still want the main pages but just want one quick download

This is very well put together and current. It focuses on content that is relevant and realistic and my students enjoy it much more than the curriculum I have used in the past. And best of all, it's free to use and offers free training!

I've been teaching Financial Literacy for years and used many different resources/curriculum, but when I found NGPF my life of Googling for content was over. They provide such a comprehensive web site for teachers that I rarely if ever, spend time searching the Internet for course materials, I just head directly to their site. One of the best features is that they keep their content up-to-date. Other financial literacy resources can become outdated, especially print resources, but NGPF continually updates lessons and activities to reflect what is currently happening in the financial world. For example, they just revamped their Taxes Unit to reflect changes in the tax laws. One "con" given by the Common Sense review of NGPF said that their "assessments are only accessible to those with teacher accounts." I don't consider this a con at all, but a definite pro! Students are very stealthy when it comes to Googling answer keys for almost every curriculum on the Internet. Thankfully NGPF requires teachers to sign up for a FREE teacher account which prevents students from access answers keys for activities and tests. On top of their great lessons, NGPF fully supports teachers by providing free training throughout the country, professional development opportunities online and personal on-the-spot "chat" access through their website. Many times I've accessed their expertise through the online "chat" feature. They've responded immediately, with answers to my questions whether content/activity specific or just to point me in the right direction when looking for a quick lesson on a specific finance topic. Additionally, NGPF has enabled me to increase my own knowledge of personal finance which in turn has increased the rigor and relevance for my students.
