Getting Involved with Get Smart About Credit
5 Easy Steps
We've made it easy to get started. Use our five quick tips to launch your Get Smart About Credit event.
| 1. |
Sign up at www.abaef.com and get access to exclusive bonus materials, including:
- Certificates of Participation for bankers and students
- Pre-lesson handout for teachers
- Credit Score/Grade Point Average Analogy handout for students
- Post-lesson handout for parents
- Sample text to use when contacting schools and recruiting volunteers from the bank
|
| 2. |
Purchase a Get Smart About Credit Resource kit for ideas, step-by-step lesson plans and instructions. Kits include a CD with supplemental visual materials, including PowerPoint presentations. Teaching at more than one school? Buy a set of 5 CDs and hand them out for your volunteers to use. |
| 3. |
Contact a school, youth group or other organization to set up an event. Use the resource kit and downloadable materials for detailed instructions and sample text. |
| 4. |
Use kit materials to promote your event in the media and in your community. Customize the fill-in-the-blank news release and Op-Ed to promote financial education. |
| 5. |
Let us know how you event went by sending a two sentence caption and one digital photo that best represents the lessons you taught. Send the photo and caption to edufoun@aba.com and you'll be listed on the Get Smart About Credit coverage page. |
