Connections to Financial Literacy
Expectations in which explicit connections can be made to financial literacy are found in the Media Literacy strand. Through learning to recognize overt and implied messages in advertising and other media texts, students can develop the critical thinking skills that they need as consumers. Expectations in the Oral Communication, Reading, and Writing strands, which develop students’ thinking skills and self-awareness, also provide opportunities for developing financial literacy.
