FEFE Training Seminars 2009 National Family Economics & Financial Education Conference
Thank you to all participants at the 2009 National Conference! Below are a few resources from the training. Who Should Attend & Why: The FEFE national training is designed for educators who teach family finance and economics to individuals from middle school to young adult. Training sessions are led by FEFE staff members and master teachers, and professionals in the field. Although all of the training sessions are content driven, the same active learning approach is employed throughout the training to ensure educators have fun while learning how to effectively use the materials. In addition, educators have the opportunity to network with other professionals. Past training participants think the training is a positive and worthwhile experience with one educator stating, “If I hadn’t got that training myself, I wouldn’t have taught it. I am sure I wouldn’t have. I wouldn’t have been comfortable with it. I wouldn’t have known how fun the curriculum is or how some of the games went.” FEFE State Training A key component of the FEFE project is our training model. To supplement the project's intensive one-week training conducted annually in Tucson, AZ, workshops are now available in individual states. The project offers a one-hour information session that outlines all of the curriculum materials available to educators, and one, two or three day training sessions which lead participants through many of our lessons and activities. Training sessions are conducted by FEFE staff members and master teachers. An active learning approach is employed throughout the training creating a fun learning envrionment while providing the skills and content to effectively teach the lessons.
