W!SE Certification Exam - Thursday, April 6
Optional ticket available with convention registration (onsite only)
In 2008, Working in Support of Education (W!SE) created a Certification in Personal Finance Test. The Test is intended for educators who are currently teaching or are interested in teaching personal finance to high school students, other educators, or adults. It is an online exam and has 75 multiple choice questions. All testing is administered online via the same secure and user-friendly online testing platform as our student test. Results are available immediately. The topics assessed are aligned to national and state standards on personal finance and educators are provided an excellent opportunity to build on their knowledge of personal finance. Educators who pass the Test earn a Certification in Personal Finance which validates their qualifications to teach personal finance.
W!se appreciates the opportunity to offer the Test to all educators attending the NBEA Convention on April 6th.
A webinar is scheduled on March 16th in which the content of the Test will be introduced, and attendees will be provided guidance for achieving success on the Test
