Diana Isern, financial educator and school leader, has dedicated 20 years to teaching, building financial literacy programs and collaborating with educators across the country. As financial literacy mandates expand across the US, she brings together her most effective strategies and resources in Money Talks, a jargon‑free, interactive guide for today’s educators. This hands-on book blends personal reflection, practical tools, and real voices from students, teachers, and community partners. It covers core concepts—from money mindset and credit building to investing and digital economies—all grounded in the RICH framework: Representation, Inquiry, Connection, and Holistic thinking.

Money Talks helps educators create authentic, engaging lessons that help young people see themselves as capable wealth builders and extend financial learning beyond the classroom.
