National Council on Economic Education
WHAT WE DO:
The National Council on Economic Education (NCEE) promotes economic and financial literacy and provides K-12 schools, teachers, and their students with comprehensive economic, personal finance and entrepreneurship education curriculum and professional development programs. NCEE helps students develop the real-life skills they need to succeed: to be able to think and choose responsibly as consumers, savers, investors, citizens, members of the workforce, and effective participants in a global economy. NCEE believes that financial literacy is best achieved through the teaching of sound economic and decision-making skills.

NCEE offers curriculum materials for teaching K-12 economics, personal finance, and entrepreneurship, as well as professional development for K-12 teachers.
