As teachers, you know personal finance skills are critical to your students' future success, but educating them in a way that is as intriguing as texting and gaming can be a challenge.

H&R Block is committed to increasing teens' financial fitness nationwide and has partnered with the Council for Economic Education to help. As part of the company's H&R Block Dollars & Sense program, 650 teachers will receive free copies of Learning, Earning and Investing for a New Generation, the companion curriculum to Gen i Revolution. Lessons are designed to take full advantage of the free online game, however all the lessons are free-standing and may be used without the game as well. You can enroll your class for participation in Gen i Revolution missions at www.genirevolution.org.

Throughout November, high school teachers can enter to win the free classroom materials at www.hrblockdollarsandsense.com. Through November 30, random drawings will determine winners who will be announced on the website and Facebook page.
