- Title
ING DIRECT to provide financial literacy resources.
- Abstract
The article reports on the launching of the "Planet Orange Teachers Resource Centre" at www.orangekids.com by ING DIRECT. This will enable teachers to easily incorporate key money management topics in the classroom while meeting core academic standards in math and economics. Free of charge to teachers, the site features lesson plans and quizzes for grades four through eight that can be downloaded, as well as a curriculum matrix allowing teachers to seek lesson plans by subject and by state standards to help them meet testing criteria. The Planet Orange Teachers Resource Center provides more than 20 downloadable lesson plans, a teacher's tutorial, links to other resources and a curriculum matrix to assist teachers in learning how Planet Orange fits into the financial education standards in their state. ING DIRECT is currently using the Planet Orange Teachers Resource Center to teach financial literacy as part of a partnership with Junior Achievement in Los Angeles, California and Wilmington, Delaware, and plans to roll it out to schools through grassroots efforts.
