FACS Challenge: April is Financial Literacy Month!

April can be an especially a challenging month for middle- and secondary-school teachers because it signifies the approach of standardized test-taking time. And now there is another education-related reason to recognize April: The United States Senate unanimously passed a resolution designating it Financial Literacy Month. In this issue of FACS Classroom Solutions, we continue last issue's Update on this vital aspect of education. We also explore the latest strategies in preparing students for all of their tests, at school, at work, at home, and in the community.
