It’s National Teacher Day and we’re thankful for all that teachers do to help their students be successful. Now more than ever, teachers’ jobs require them to be flexible as they lead students in a virtual environment.

Intuit Education is focused on helping students become career ready by developing 21st century skills through entrepreneurship and personal finance education. We’re also committed to helping teachers obtain experience and confidence through free professional development opportunities including webinars and virtual workshops on design thinking and personal finance simulations.

Do you know a teacher who’s interested in teaching entrepreneurship, personal finance or design thinking in their classroom? Here are some great resources that we hope will empower and inspire educators.
