Principles for Effective Financial Education

Presented by: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Office of Financial Education
Irene Skricki, Senior Financial Education Program Analyst and Maria Jaramillo, Financial Education Program Analyst.
 
Join us for a webinar to explore CFPB’s five principles on effective financial education. The principles build on insights about how people make financial decisions, and on what the CFPB has learned about consumers’ own experiences in the financial marketplace. The webinar will share research-based strategies and practitioners’ tips on how financial educators offering can put the Principles into practice.
