Our History
The Saskatoon Industry Education Council (SIEC) started SaskMoney in the Spring of 2019 with a goal of creating a program where Saskatchewan teachers can easily gather content connected to curricular outcomes.
In the summer of 2019, the SIEC gathered 11 educators to curate and create resources for 13 modules suggested for middle years classrooms in the provincial FL 20/30 curriculum, and they prepared resources for the Money Fair program.
In the summer of 2020, a second teacher writing group developed content for the core Financial Literacy 20/30 modules.
SaskMoney.ca was launched in November 2020. The program now features features 55 modules-worth of activities, resources, and original projects and videos that can be used across the province.
The SIEC continues to support Middle Years teachers with hosting Money Fairs, and secondary students are now entering projects in the Student SaskMoneyMinute contest.
To support Saskatchewan teachers, the SIEC continues to offer professional learning sessions (in-person and virtual) focused on using the SaskMoney program and instructional best practices to ensure that youth are engaged in such an important topic.
