New Jersey Coalition for Financial Education Holds
Teachers Training Teachers (T3) Conference
The New Jersey Coalition for Financial Education (NJCFE), a Jump$tart affiliate,
created a new format for teacher financial education training conferences called
Teachers Training Teachers (T3) This innovative program was developed with
funding from the Council for Economic Education. Instead of the typical training
conference format, with speaker-led presentations, conference participants
(teachers and other youth educators) taught each other while competing for the
title of “New Jersey Financial Education Idol.” Upon registering for T3,
participants were sent an electronic template form to describe their most
innovative and successful financial education activity. Completed template
forms were then placed on CDs and distributed to all conference participants. At
the conference, roundtable groups picked winners (semi-finalists), who later
presented their teaching strategy to all in attendance, who voted for the “Idol”
contest winner. T3 also included exhibits and brief curriculum overviews. For
further information about T3 and other NJCFE activities, see
