In addition to improving teaching skills, the MTPF course improves a teacher’s ability and practice of being a good critical thinker. MTPFs have more ability and confidence to empower their students’ critical thinking capacity to make better choices as they plan their personal finance goals. Successful MTPFs will understand why personal finance education is valuable and learn how to present the content in an engaging manner; have the ability to mentor students in making personal finance decisions; articulate answers to the essential questions related to making college and career ready decisions; recognize good personal finance informational text; and improve in structuring learning experiences. The MTPF course was developed to be an example that teachers could replicate in their classrooms to meet best practices in engaging students to integrate critical thinking into their lives.
