Consumer debt is a major problem for many families. They have more debt than they can pay. Savings are at an all-time low, and personal bankruptcy is at an all-time high. Financial literacy is a problem nationwide for both adults and young people. This manual was written for Florida's debtor education program and approved by the Department of Justice to fulfill the education requirement of the bankruptcy law. It is designed to provide information which will help participants learn to better manage their available resources. There are four units: Charting the Course, Trimming the Sails, Standing Watch, and Staying the Course.

Teach Aquaculture Curriculum

This curriculum provides a series of individual lessons covering manatee biology and ecology, as well as highlighting some of the ways that humans impact and can protect manatees. The curriculum has been written at a third grade level but can be adapted for older or younger students. Lessons are designed to take approximately one class period each (exceptions are noted in the lesson descriptions). Lessons are listed in the suggested order; however, each one is a stand-alone lesson that could be taught independently of the others. It is suggested that teachers integrate these lessons into their regular curriculum, mostly in the fall semester, culminating with a field experience in the winter (December through February), if feasible, and a school manatee science night in the spring.
