Thanks to Matthew Gherman of Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn, New York for joining me recently on the NGPF podcast show. Matt teaches Honors Economics, AP Macro Economics and College Now Business Administration and is the Personal Finance Coordinator at Murrow (sounds like a busy guy!). Matt recently received the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Teaching Champion Award for his work incorporating personal finance into his economics curriculum ((Darren Gurney, another Sloan recipient appeared on our blog show previously). Listen to this podcast to hear Matt's insights on: 1) How he makes credit scores compelling for his students 2) The Junior Heroes program he leads which trains high school students to teach personal finance to elementary school students 3) How his school adapts their personal finance curriculum for their special needs students 4) Investing advice he gives his students For more details on the podcast: http://nextgenpersonalfinance.org/ ngpf-podcast-matthew-gherman
