How WMM works
What Money Means helps primary schools by providing resources and offers pfeg consultants to those involved.
- to increase the quantity and quality of personal finance education
- to increase the confidence and competence of those teaching it
Resources for schools
What Money Means has generated a range of materials that schools and teachers can use and experiment with in relation to their own programme of personal finance education. These include:
- planning tools
- suggestions for activities
- stimulus materials
- examples of approaches that teachers can use and adapt.
Ongoing research and support
What Money Means includes ongoing research projects in local authorities, to develop educational tools and techniques tailored to the specific needs of both teachers and children. Everyone involved with What Money Means receives regular information updates as more and more primary schools share their experiences of teaching financial capability.
Local authorities involved in What Money Means benefit from direct support over an academic year from a dedicated pfeg educational consultant, who works to develop a plan for increasing personal finance education in the context of local and regional needs, and using existing networks. The consultant also works with teachers to develop classroom practice.
