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 assemble activities and resources to support middle years teachers wanting to integrate the new curriculum into their Practical and Applied Arts instruction. The writing team focused on 13 modules in the curriculum that are suggested for middle years classrooms, and they prepared resources for the Money Fair program.
Throughout the 2019-2020 school year, educators across the province accessed the program via the SIEC’s website, and many teachers attended virtual and in-person PD sessions to gain an understanding of the activities and resources while also learning best practices for financial literacy instruction.
In the summer of 2020, a second teacher writing group worked with 29 core Financial Literacy 20/30 modules. The program now features features 44 modules-worth of activities and resources that can be used in classrooms across the province as well as remote learning and homeschool situations.
To support teachers new to this content, the SIEC continues to offer professional development 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.
The SIEC is always looking for partners to help create content and/or participate in our events! If you or your organization would like to get involved, please fill out a contact form.
