This is a topic of great relevance to all nationalities, and will be very useful for our lesson plans on money and budgeting.

Some of the banks in the Chicago area have some great materials for financial literacy, but they seem to written at 6.0 grade level.  I have used them, but have had to rewrite.  Some of the problems arise because the vocabulary needed to work with banks, credit cards, etc is very difficult for those who are reading at high level let alone below 6.0.  I am looking  forward for the materials that will help explain the needed vocabulary.

Hello everyone,

This group is a wonderful way to inform us about webinars and other opportunities - so I wholeheartedly advocate that. BUT.... could the providers of webinars please provide SEPARATE registration contact info, e.g. "Please register by emailing Jane Doe at janedoe@youremailaddress.com." In other words, please do not use the group/list itself for the actual registration.

We are being absolutely inundated by people posting "Please register me for this webinar" because people were asked to register this way. Those of us who get each post via email are swamped by dozens of emails saying "I would like to attend." Threads should be used for discussion of professional topics, not registration for a webinar.

Hope that LINCS administrators will actively support this request - thanks much!

If you have not yet indicated your RSVP, please do so by emailing Dorjan Chaney at dorjan.chaney@kratoslearning.com. Do not RSVP by posting a comment in this discussion thread.

Unfortuantely, we will not be archiving our webinars very soon.  We will begin archiving in the future and will in fact, back archive this webinar and previous webinars.  If you could attend the webinar that would be great, but FYI we are working to make sure that we can put these webinars up in a timely manner, in a format and location that is assessible to everyone.

Thank you for you inquiry.

I would like to participate in the webinar! We offer financial literacy in our ESL classes, but it has been difficult to get bankers to incorporate the English our students need into the FDIC Money Smart curriculum or other curriculums that the different banks use. Our local literacy coalition will be working with United Way to try to have trainings for bankers to understand what adult learners need most.

I just joined the LINCS community today and happen to be working on developing a Financial Literacy curriculum for my organization. I was sad to see that this webinar was last year; I think it'd be very helpful as I tackle this project. Where can I find the shared materials from this webinar?
