Kody’s Kozy Kennel is a creative way to teach and learn the fundamental aspects of financial literacy. It covers everything you need to know, from credit management to financing a business. The curriculum provides the instructor with a detailed lesson plan and educates the students with engaging photo-images and easy-to-read scripts. The module includes definitions and interesting storylines to illustrate the “how-to’s” of financial literacy. Our future of competing globally as entrepreneurs will require a well-designed curriculum to adequately prepare our students. I am sure you will agree that this curriculum is one of the best on the market today.
