Understanding Your Credit Score: a lesson plan for adult learners
 Oklahoma Money Matters (OKMM), the financial literacy initiative of the Oklahoma College Assistance Program and the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, is proud to announce the newest addition to our financial education library, Understanding Your Credit Score, a lesson plan for adult learners.
Understanding Your Credit Score was carefully crafted with the economically vulnerable learner in mind and is divided into five sections to allow for more flexible utilization. Each section concludes with an application exercise and bonus material that complements the lesson. Participants will explore the factors that make up a credit score, learn how to access and review their credit reports, discover strategies for reducing debt, and learn the importance of making wise financial decisions that can help them reach their financial goals.
Both the Understanding Your Credit Score lesson plan and its corresponding Your Money Matters: Your Money, Your Way guide can be downloaded for FREE of charge from the resources page of OKMM’s website.
OKMM also offers free workshops that highlight practical ways for adults to manage their money, even if they’ve reached a financial crisis point. Workshops are customizable and include topics such as:
- Establishing an effective budget
- Managing credit
- Preventing identity theft
- Saving for expenses and emergencies
- Paying for continuing education and navigating the financial aid process
