Why not print out and issue the FoolProof Certificate and award it to each student who completes the FoolProof modular program?
You can find the certificate in your "Teacher Account."
Compare your students' financial literacy skills before and after working through the FoolProof modules.
You could even add the students' pre and post-test scores to their Certificate of Completion.

The backbone of the "Burning Money" series.
Each student records every expense for 7 days on our printed Spending Journal, then, periodically transfers the expenses to his or her online account.
Each student's individual expenses are then used in teaching examples for that student throughout the entire "Burning Money" series.
You can find the spending journal in your "Teacher Account."
- Print yourself, or check with your sponsoring credit union. Many credit unions will provide you this journal.
