NGPF is excited to share that the Racial Discrimination in Finance Mini Unit has been “Nearpod-ized”! Each lesson from the new mini-unit has an accompanying Nearpod to make lesson planning a little bit easier. 

What is the Racial Discrimination in Finance Mini Unit?

This mini-unit is designed for students to examine the role of discrimination in personal finance and its impact on historically excluded communities in the United States. It was developed in response to the popularity of the History of Racism Virtual PDs and numerous teacher requests to transform that content into student-facing curriculum. To learn more, read the Unit Introduction and FAQs.
