What Money Means resources - updated Nov 2009

What Money Means in Primary Schools is a booklet for teachers that emerged from the What Money Means project. It draws on practical experience gathered while teaching personal finance education in primary schools. It features over 20 detailed case studies and short taster ideas to get teachers started. The booklet includes a CD ROM containing classroom materials, suggestions for activities, units of work, examples of children’s work, planning grids, planning tools and frameworks for development.

It also includes a short DVD film titled What Money Means in Action, which demonstrates what personal finance education is like in primary schools. The film aims to inspire and support teachers in developing a planned and coherent programme of personal finance education and includes additional chapters covering: planning and preparation, in the classroom, learning outcomes and next steps.

What Money Means Volunteering Partnerships is a guide for teachers and volunteers. A practical guide to help you work with volunteers, and help them develop the skills and understanding of the education sector that they will need to work with you effectively. This also includes a CD ROM with many practical ideas for working together in the classroom. There is also a Code of Conduct to help you manage your relationship professionally.

When you go through the resources ordering process online, you will also have the opportunity to request a trained HSBC staff member to come and volunteer in your classroom.

Please note that the supporting documents are too large to be available for download. Therefore please order a hard copy of the resource packs to obtain the support materials and DVD film.
