Educator Standards

The Get Checking National program has developed educator standards to ensure that the highest-level, qualified educators are available to provide Get Checking classes. Highly qualified educators are essential to providing crucial information and developing the skills needed for individuals to build a solid foundation of financial basics. Mastery of these financial basics will allow consumers to take the next steps to participation in the financial mainstream.

Get Checking educators must be certified by the national Get Checking initiative before they can begin offering classes.

The Get Checking National Program has identified the following critical objectives:

• To raise the level of personal financial literacy for individuals
  
• To identify and certify educators of the highest standards
  
• To ensure that educators demonstrate the highest degree of proficiency
  
• To assist in the growth and success of the Get Checking program
  
• To ensure program results are measurable and program impact quantifiable
  
• To provide opportunities for successful graduates of Get Checking to access mainstream financial services
