Classroom-ready site features
Beyond the downloads above, several parts of the site work well as guided or self-paced classroom activities:
Learning Pathways
Three self-paced modules with short lessons and built-in knowledge checks — good for independent work or homework.
Life-Stage Decision Maps
A good whole-class warm-up: pick a life stage together and discuss which concepts become relevant.
State Explorer & Trend Viewer
Useful for a data-reading exercise comparing public average premiums or rules across a few states.
Glossary
A searchable reference students can use during any activity or worksheet on this page.
How these materials were made
These materials were written for general classroom use, aligned in spirit with common personal-finance literacy goals (such as the risk-management strand in the Jump$tart Coalition's National Standards for Personal Financial Literacy). They are not affiliated with or endorsed by Jump$tart or any standards body — check your own local or state standards for exact alignment. As with the rest of this site, none of these materials recommend, rank, or quote a specific insurance product or company.
