Springfield and Agawam, MA (PRWEB) January 7, 2008 -- In an effort to improve the financial literacy of its students, the School-to-Career Department of the Springfield, Massachusetts public school system announced today that it has teamed with Cambridge Credit Counseling Corp. (http://www.cambridgecredit.org) to provide fundamental instruction on money management to pupils in grades 9-12.

Cambridge Credit Counseling Corp. will help to provide resources, lessons, and training to the School-to-Career Department in order to proactively facilitate students' understanding about credit, debt, money management, interest, loans, and the United States economy.

"Springfield is setting an example that we would encourage all local and national school systems to follow."

Cambridge uses two informational websites to explain the fundamentals of personal finance. The first, www.goodpayer.com , is home to a wide array of articles of financial interest. Another site, www.learnnoworpaylater.com , offers its own articles and quizzes on the fundamentals of personal finance, and also contains units on the psychology of spending and an electronic budgeting feature.

"Financial literacy is one of the most important skills we can provide to our students as part of a comprehensive career development education curriculum," stated Mary Kay Brown, the Springfield Public Schools' School-to-Career Administrator.
