3.1 Browsing the Course Library

How to find available courses, what's in the library, and how to preview a course before assigning it.

Written by Kerry Ao

Intertwined's course library is your curriculum catalog. Every course is a complete, standards-aligned package with lessons, assessments, worksheets, and answer keys, all ready to assign to your classroom in your Teaching Toolkit.

Opening the Course Library

  1. Inside your classroom, click the Assigned Courses tab.

  2. You'll see any courses already assigned to this class displayed as cards (for example, "Introduction to Financial Literacy (Legacy)," "Personal Finance Core Foundations (Legacy)," "Personal Finance Core Foundations (2e)").

  3. To browse what's available, click the Add Course button in the top-right.

The library opens with all courses available to your plan tier. Courses not included in your tier may appear locked or hidden — see 1.3 Understanding Your Plan Tier for what each tier unlocks.

What's in the Library

Intertwined's course catalog includes: Core Personal Finance Courses

  • Personal Finance Core Foundations (2e) — Our flagship, latest-edition course. Standards-aligned, covers everything from budgeting basics to investing and entrepreneurship. Recommended for new teachers.

  • Personal Finance Core Foundations (Legacy) — The original version of Core Foundations. Still available for teachers who started on it and want to finish the year on the same curriculum.

  • Introduction to Financial Literacy (Legacy) — A shorter, entry-level course covering the fundamentals. Good for shorter units or middle school audiences.

Pro Tier Additions

  • OpenStax Courses from Rice University — Higher-education-grade courses developed by Rice University and offered through OpenStax. Available on Pro tier and above.

Specialized Courses Additional courses may be available depending on your plan tier and any pilot programs your school participates in. The library updates periodically as we publish new content.

Reading a Course Card

Each course card shows:

  • Course title with a tag indicating version (Legacy, 2e, etc.)

  • A direction arrow icon indicating you can click to open or preview

  • A label badge with the course's short name

Previewing Before Assigning

Click any course card to view its full table of contents — units, modules, lessons, and assessments. This lets you scan the curriculum scope before committing.

Tip: Spend 10–15 minutes browsing the table of contents of a course before assigning it. This helps you plan your semester pacing and identify which lessons align with your existing curriculum map.
