When students begin comparing the cost of college, it's essential for them to understand the difference between a school's sticker price and its net price. NGPF's activity INTERACTIVE: Sticker Price vs Net Price uses an interactive website that helps students compare these prices across different colleges. 

In the Teacher Tip video, Amanda Volz will walk you through the activity, how to use the interactive, and set you up for successful classroom implementation. 

What are Teacher Tip videos? 

Teacher Tip videos are short videos exploring a range of NGPF activities through the eyes of veteran personal finance teacher and NGPF super user, Amanda Volz. Teacher Tip videos are designed to guide teachers through the activity and offer tips, tricks, and ideas for implementing the activity in the classroom. 

Where can I find Teacher Tip videos? 

Teacher Tip video can be found in two places: 

1. Linked at the top of the activity document. Note: not all NGPF activities have a Teacher Tip video. 
2. In the Teacher Tip Videos section of the NGPF Video Library.
