“(DSG) is self-paced, so they (students) can work at their own pace. And it’s relatable for them, so I can use real-life stories with it. That’s one thing I love about it, that you can tie in real-life stories to the modules and assignments. So the kids get a better understanding of ‘how does this apply to me’.”

“Once the students get into (DSG), they can see that ‘Oh, wow. People really deal with data. And this is how data is being manipulated.’ For example, when you deal with urban planning, why do we want to decide to put in another housing development somewhere? Why don’t we want to do this? You can look at all the data behind it.”

“My students need as much exposure to different types of careers, so they know what is available to them. Students who don’t have this exposure cannot keep options open and choices are taken away from them. Students make better connections in what they are learning to real world operations by understanding the importance of these careers. I would do a pre-lesson on what jobs are related to Data Science and how it is connected to the subjects they are learning.”

“​Students were so interested in stocks and had a bunch of questions that I didn’t have answers to. Once we went through some of the lessons inside Marketplaces, their questions were answered. It was very thought out and easy to follow.”

“Teaching students about generational wealth and financial literacy is essential. I have used Everfi’s resources for years. Having students learn about investment through Marketplaces in a non-intimidating, fun, and practical manner allowed them to embrace the concept.”

“The tax simulator does a great job of getting hands on with the students to better understand this area that can be so difficult to understand in the life of growing up into a responsible adult.”

“I would like to thank Intuit for Education for providing me with this real-world tax tool to use in my classroom. This program has allowed my Economics class to gain a better understanding of Taxes through the use of their online tax simulations. This is one of my favorite lessons as it teaches real-life skills that my students will need and use throughout their lives.”

“The simulation allows students to work through it at their own pace. It is a different delivery method for tax lessons for gig workers, investments, and cryptocurrency. It also allows students who might have struggled with the content in class a new way to learn and apply the information. As a teacher, it is fantastic to have free tools that help me differentiate my lessons and engage students.”

“I thank Intuit for Education for creating student lessons based on real-world skills through the TurboTax Simulation.  It is fantastic to have access to lessons about taxes that enhance and expand learning outside the classroom.”

“Using the financial literacy curriculum with my homeroom students is allowing my students to make healthy financial decisions before and after graduating from high school. They will, in return, become productive financially literate citizens.”

“Using EVERF’s financial literacy for high school lesson on budgeting has indeed made a significant impact on both me and my students. By gaining a solid understanding of budgeting concepts, students are better equipped to make informed financial decisions that will benefit them in the future. This knowledge not only helps them manage their personal finances effectively but also foresters a sense of responsibility and independence.”

“​​Students are saying this is the best class I’ve ever taken. They know that they are going to need these skills. They want it. This should be a mandatory class!”

“Financial Literacy is important for students because it helps them learn how to manage their money effectively and helps them learn to plan for financial hardships and real-life. Financial literacy is a necessary life skill that I wish I would have learned in school.”
