Risk, Reward, and Real Life: Practical Strategies for Teaching Econ and PF - 1/30 - (Thomasville)

Risk, Reward, and Real Life is a brand-new 2026 workshop developed in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta that brings personal finance, economic decision-making, and real-world relevance together in one powerful experience for high school teachers.

You’ll dive into engaging, classroom-ready lessons on topics today’s students confront every day—problem gambling, interpreting economic “vital signs,” understanding insurance and credit, and evaluating the claims of social-media “finfluencers.” Along the way, you’ll gain strategies that help students recognize risk, weigh reward, and make informed choices in a world where economic decisions are everywhere.

Audience:  Teachers, Grades 9 – 12
