The MoneySKILL curriculum reaches more students each year. More than 6,500 teachers from all 50 states have registered to use MoneySKILL to teach students personal finance concepts, and more than 118,000 students have been enrolled in the course since its inception. Student enrollments in the August 2007 through May 2008 academic school year far exceeded the AFSA Education Foundation’s (AFSAEF) expectations. Student enrollments were anticipated to increase by a minimum of 25 percent, but the foundation was striving for a 40 to 50 percent increase. In actuality, enrollment increased 169 percent.
MoneySKILL was updated in April 2008 to incorporate suggestions from teachers to make the course easier to use with students. Among the changes were making the grade book match the order of the modules indicated by the teacher in the class setup process, letting students retake a particular module, and allowing teachers to duplicate or recreate a course of study used by a previous class. Teacher feedback in response to the changes has been very positive. Lauretta Doyle of Stoughton High School (WI) wrote, “The upgrades you have made are phenomenal and came right at the right time for my students.”
