Beyond the Classroom

Beyond the Classroom is a three-hour workshop that details: how to calculate and maximize your final average salary, payment options for receiving STRS Ohio retirement benefits, how and when to purchase service credit and health care issues and funding.

Attendees will receive a workbook at the workshop which includes a retirement planning case study and worksheets to assist with determining: savings needed in retirement, value of current savings in retirement and the amount of savings yet needed to reach retirement financial goals.

Who Should Attend
Beyond the Classroom will be of special interest to members who are approaching retirement and want to know more about STRS Ohio retirement options. We recommend this course especially for members who are considering how to “finance” their retirement.
