Since it was last featured in the 03-22-2013 issue of the Scout Report, this educational resources website has undergone a total revamp. Updated resources are now easier to search using filters for age, topic, and format.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City offers an array of educational resources for teachers, bankers, and consumers of all ages. Lesson plans, videos, activities, and articles cover a range of personal finance and economics topics such as credit, banking, income, employment, and college and career readiness. For kids, popular resources include the "Financial Fables" stories that teach lessons about personal finance, the interactive "Jay Starts a Business" activity about entrepreneurship, flashcards for economic terms ("Fifty Nifty Econ Cards") and higher-level concepts ("Core Concept Cards"), and "The Money Circle," an eight-lesson series to teach high schoolers about money. In the "Filter Education" toolbar, users can filter resources by age ("Audience"), "Topic," or "Format." Visitors can scroll the page for featured resources organized by theme and content type, such as Role Plays, Recession Lessons, and Infographics, or use the Education drop-down menu.
