Teaching is demanding. It's meaningful. And let's be honest, it's not always financially rewarding.
Money Matters for Educators was written for teachers and school leaders who want to feel confident about their money without needing a finance degree. Using the language, mindset, and examples educators already understand, this book breaks down budgeting, debt, credit, housing, retirement, insurance, and investing into practical steps that actually work on an educator's income.
This isn't a book about getting rich quick or cutting out coffee to solve systemic problems. It's about making thoughtful decisions, avoiding common financial pitfalls, and building long-term stability so you can spend less time worrying about money and more time enjoying life. Written by an educator for educators, this book meets you where you are and helps you move forward.
Dr. Burke Wallace is a scholar-practitioner who has spent more than two decades navigating the complexities of the education system. Since beginning his career in 2004, Dr. Wallace has served at nearly every level of the field-from classroom teacher and coach to site-level and district-level administrator. His experience extends to higher education, where he has served as an academic advisor, adjunct professor, and tenure-track professor.
Dr. Wallace's unique perspective on personal finance is fueled by his diverse academic background. He holds a Ph.D. in Leadership and an MBA, alongside master's degrees in Education and Religion. This rare combination of leadership, business, and pedagogical expertise allows him to bridge the gap between financial theory and the lived reality of school life.
A frequent conference presenter and licensed administrator in both California and Montana, Dr. Wallace's work centers on innovation and the continual improvement cycle. He wrote Money Matters for Educators to empower his colleagues with the practical tools they need to achieve financial stability.
Burke is married and has three adopted children.
