Partnership Combines Curriculum and Online Gaming to Teach Teens Real-World Money Lessons
\nH&R Block Dollars & Sense<\/a>, which provides personal finance curriculum and scholarships to high schools nationwide, has partnered with the Council for Economic Education (CEE)<\/a>, the leading U.S. organization focused on economic and financial education for students. The partnership brings additional financial education resources to teachers across America, powered by Gen i Revolution, an online game that provides a fun and motivating learning environment for students.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile only a third of U.S. states currently require personal finance education in schools, we believe all students should have access to tools that will drive teens\u2019 financial fitness,\u201d said Amy McAnarney, president of H&R Block retail client services. \u201cThrough H&R Block Dollars & Sense, we\u2019ve donated more than $3 million in scholarships and grants to aid in this effort. Working with the Council allows us to help even more students learn critical personal financial management techniques in fun and interactive ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

CEE\u2019s free Gen i Revolution<\/a> game features 15 interactive missions to help students learn personal finance concepts. Within each mission, students are introduced to a character facing a financial crisis. Students learn about the crisis, strategically select \u201coperatives\u201d and complete activities while competing against classmates to solve the mission.<\/p>\n

The Gen i classroom companion guide, Learning, Earning, and Investing\u00ae for a New Generation<\/a>, helps teachers integrate the online game with classroom activities. To kick off the partnership, H&R Block will give away 650 copies of the companion guide this month. Teachers can enter to win Nov.1 \u2013 30 at www.hrblockdollarsandsense.com<\/a>. Winners will be determined by a random drawing each Monday through Dec. 3 and announced on the H&R Block Dollars & Sense<\/a> website and Facebook<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled that H&R Block Dollars and Sense is supporting our important mission to instill in young people the fourth \u2018R\u2019 \u2014 a real-world understanding of personal finance,\u201d said Nan J. Morrison, President and CEO, Council for Economic Education. \u201cFinancial literacy skills will help these teens grow into successful and productive adults, capable of making informed and responsible decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n
