What Money Means - Enriching Initial Teacher Training

pfeg has piloted working with trainee primary teachers at Edge Hill and Roehampton universities. Designed specifically for these trainee teachers, seminars used the innovative and creative tools developed through the What Money Means project. Students and teacher mentors were also given one-to-one support throughout their school placements to enhance the personal finance education in schools.

Through working with and supporting trainee teachers, in the universities and through to their eventual teaching placements, pfeg has been able to adapt and refine its approach to Initial Teacher Training (ITT); collecting valuable evidence to suggest this is one of the most effective ways to raise the profile of personal finance education in schools.

Evidence of the techniques that work well and the benefits of personal finance education in Initial Teacher Training have been collated in a short film - which you can watch here.
