Your Plan for Earning and Managing Money

---

Your Plan for Earning and Managing Money is a code excerpted from How to Start and Grow Your Own Business: A Guide for Financial Well-Being --Microcredit, Savings, Business. Education practitioners use this code to stimulate dialogue among learners on locally identified development themes pertaining to self-reliance. Codes are pictures, stories, or events that reflect the learners' perspective and stimulate participant expression—what Freire calls a "codification" or a "code" of the learners' reality.

This resource also contains a series of discussion questions for inspiring critical thinking and critical consciousness when learners examine, analyze, and question information they identify from the code. To learn more about how to use codes in instruction, see the online courses available on Literacy for Social Change.
