The Challenge

Money Matters was created for women entering KDM with varying levels of financial literacy, inconsistent budgeting habits, and limited exposure to structured financial education. The existing course lacked a consistent instructional framework, making delivery dependent on individual instructor experience.

The redesigned program needed to provide consistent instruction while giving learners meaningful opportunities to practice real-world financial decisions.

The Solution

I redesigned Money Matters as a five-session blended program built around a narrative framework, realistic financial decisions, and scaffolded practice.

Session 1: Independent Learning

  • Biblical Stewardship

  • 10/10/80 Framework

  • Foundational Terminology

  • Guided Learner Workbook

Sessions 2-5: Instructor-Led Training

  • Budgeting

  • Expense Tracking

  • Spending Decisions

  • Credit

  • Long-term Financial Planning

Why move Session 1 online?

Moving the foundational session to independent eLearning allowed learners to engage privately with personal and potentially sensitive financial content before entering group discussion. It also ensured that every participant entered the instructor-led sessions with the same foundational knowledge.
