ANNOUNCEMENT TO HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
THE ABCs OF CREDIT CARD FINANCE
2007
A Credit Card Literacy Program for High School Juniors & Seniors
Once
again, The New Jersey Coalition for Financial Education and the Center for
Student Credit Card Education, Inc. are offering their free credit card literacy
program for high school juniors and seniors. The program teaches students how to
wisely choose and responsibly use a credit card before they move on to college
or join the workforce. Citibank, for the fourth year, is making the program
available through a non-commercial, educational sponsorship. To stay current
with the credit card industry, the curriculum is revised yearly. This year’s
changes include new payoff tables and the latest terminology.
Over
the past three years, more than 1,000,000 students, in all fifty states, have
participated in “The ABCs of Credit Card Finance.” By teaching this program, you
will help students develop the credit card literacy skills necessary to build a
positive credit history that will serve them today and for years to come. The
course materials include:
-
A supporting Trainer’s Guide and PowerPoint Presentation, which facilitate
teaching the program. One Trainer’s Guide will be provided to each school.
In addition, the
PowerPoint Presentation and extra copies of the Trainer’s Guide can be
downloaded at
www.Students.UseCreditWisely.com.
The program takes approximately one hour of instruction time, not including the
optional tests and classroom activities. Since most students will not
self-educate on this topic, it is a requirement that the curriculum be taught.
To take part in this program, simply respond to this email by providing us
through Maryanne D. Evanko, President of NJCFE
president@njcfe.org
, with the number of students you will be teaching and the mailing address to
which we should send the materials.
