In May, we announced a partnership with Dow Jones and the Dow Jones Foundation to bring award-winning journalism from The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, and MarketWatch into personal finance classrooms. Now, those resources are live on our website and ready for you to use in the new school year.

What's in the WSJ and Dow Jones resources?

10 Data Crunches + answer keys, built around graphs pulled straight from Dow Jones publications

• Data Crunch: How Have Prices and Earnings Changed Over Time?
• Data Crunch: How Do Employers Rate the Job Market for College Grads?

50 Article Question Sets + answer keys

• Article: AI Wants to Spend Your Money For You. Should You Trust It?
• Article: A Generation Is Turning to 'Buy Now, Pay Later' for Botox and Concert Tickets

30 Video Guides + answer keys

• Video: How Live Nation Is Devouring the Live Music Industry
• Video: Inside the Multibillion-Dollar Business of Betting on Everything

All of the resources are organized by unit so you can easily incorporate current events into the lessons you're already teaching. It’s all free and no WSJ subscription is required.

Explore all the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones resources in our hub. 

Here’s what else is coming:

WSJ Wednesdays

Starting August 19, we'll highlight a Dow Jones news piece from The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, or MarketWatch and its companion classroom activity on the blog every Wednesday.

3,000 WSJ Subscriptions for Teachers

Personal finance educators who are active in the NGPF community will be first in line to apply for a complimentary one-year subscription. More information to come.

Speaker Series with Dow Jones Reporters 

Periodically throughout the year, Dow Jones journalists will join our weekly Speaker Series Virtual PD lineup to talk about the latest topics they're covering and how to discuss them with your students.
