Using the PowerPoint companion presentation to
“Take Charge of Your Life”

Thank you for your interest in presenting this important consumer education program.   “Take Charge of Your Life” is a program intended to help today’s consumer learn to take charge of his or her financial future.  It was designed to be used in presenting credit seminars and for placement in public libraries and schools for consumer education.  The program, on a 73 minute audio tape or compact disk, covers the basics of money and credit management.  The tapes and CDs are available through the Credit Education Resources Foundation. 

Copies of the Instructor’s Guide for the program are also available from the Foundation.  The Guide is intended as an accompaniment to the tapes and CDs to assist consultants and teachers in presenting the materials in the class room or as part of an adult credit seminar and contains valuable preparation tips and additional activity ideas for the facilitator in addition to forms, resource lists and overhead masters.

The companion PowerPoint presentation consists of 70 slides which can be used in place of the overheads provided in the Guide.  The package also contains notes for the facilitator, and a handout master.  We recommend that you print out the notes in black and white and review them as you practice the slide show presentation, as they will identify which slides require manual builds and when to listen to the different sections of the audio program.

To print out the note pages, from the Print dialog box:
Print Range:  All    	Print What:  Notes Pages 
Select “Black & White” and “Frame Slides” 

You  may customize the handouts to fit your needs but we ask that you do not change the footer with the copyright and contact information on the bottom left hand corner of the handout master.

To access and edit the handout master, use the drop down menus:
View, Master, Handout Master
