This professional development program, presented in partnership with the University of Delaware Center for Economic Education and Entrepreneurship, acquaints high school educators with the Keys to Financial Success personal finance curriculum.

Composed of over 40 lessons designed to help educators teach high school students about personal finance using active and collaborative learning, Keys to Financial Success is a comprehensive plan for a semester personal finance course. Keys to Financial Success teaches students the knowledge, skills, and processes required to make sound financial decisions and manage their own personal finances. Newly revised in 2026, the lessons engage students in critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making. The program, taught by economic educators from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and the University of Delaware Center for Economic Education and Entrepreneurship, provides the essential professional development and complete classroom resources for teaching personal finance using the Keys model.

The content covered in this program can be used to meet state and national standards in personal finance, economics, social studies, family and consumer sciences, and business education. Upon completion of all sessions, participants will receive 18.00 hours of professional development credit (Act 48 in Pennsylvania for certified teachers), a $100 gift card, and all curriculum resources.
