AB 2927 rollout support
Your course starts in 2027–28. Your teachers start sooner.
Every California high school must offer a one-semester personal finance course starting in 2027–28, and the class of 2031 has to pass it to graduate. Many of the teachers assigned to it haven't taught personal finance before. Tyler helps districts, county offices, and charters get from the law to a course that runs well: the plan, the teachers, and the first semester.

02
Teacher Bootcamp
The teachers assigned the course
Content teachers can stand on for every required topic, with extra depth on taxes, investing, credit, and insurance; how to lead money conversations with students from every background; and a first-semester pacing plan.
