Impact Study

Help the World See Your Impact
At Ramsey Education, our mission is to equip you with the tools to teach your students how money really works. As an educator, you have an important role in shaping their future—and that’s why we’d love your help. We’re looking for your students’ feedback on Foundations in Personal Finance. With your support, we can make this life-changing curriculum available to even more students.
Join Our Impact Study
In 2019, we created a research study to learn how Foundations in Personal Finance helps students make better choices with money. We want to show others the behavior changes you’re seeing in the classroom and help even more students learn these important skills.
Here’s how you and your students can join the study:
-
It’s easy! We’ll send you two links by email to share with your students.
-
It’s just two surveys. Students take one at the beginning of the course and one at the end of the course. All data is confidential and for research purposes only.
Why It Matters
This study is about real students gaining the knowledge and confidence they need to grow into well-rounded, capable adults who are ready to build a brighter future. When you take part in this study, you help show other schools and districts what’s possible when our curriculum is paired with dedicated teachers. We need your help so as many students as possible join in, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Who can complete the surveys?
-
Any student using the Foundations in Personal Finance curriculum can take the surveys. We recommend students take the pre-course survey before starting the curriculum, and the post-course survey after they’ve finished it.
-
Will you be using students’ personal information for future marketing?
-
Students can choose to opt-in to be part of long-term research on the effects of Foundations in Personal Finance curriculum, but their personal information will not be used for marketing purposes.
-
How long do the surveys take?
-
Your students should be able to finish them in about 15 minutes.
-
Is this survey the same as the pre-test in the curriculum?
-
No. The pre- and post-tests in the curriculum measure knowledge gain, while the Curriculum Impact Study measures change in student behavior and mindset.
-
What happens after the post-course survey?
-
Your students will have the option to take part in future research studies with Ramsey Education. As part of the long-term phase of this study, we’d love to check-in with them down the road to see what personal finance lessons have stuck with them after the course.
-
What do I need to do right now?
-
You’ll get an email from Ramsey Education with the survey. When it arrives, just share the link with your students and encourage them to take part. Make sure they complete the survey again after you’ve finished teaching the Foundations in Personal Finance curriculum.
