Council for Economic Education
What We Do:
The mission of the Council for Economic Education is two-fold: to advocate for better and greater school-based economic and personal finance education at the K-12 level; and to educate young people in the United States and around the world, primarily through well-prepared teachers, so they may become empowered with economic and financial literacy.
The Council for Economic Education believes that financial literacy is best achieved through the teaching of sound economic and decision-making skills.
What We Offer:
The Council for Economic Education offers curriculum materials for teaching K-12 economics, personal finance, and entrepreneurship, as well as professional development for K-12 teachers.
The Council for Economic Education (www.councilforeconed.org) offers comprehensive, best-in-class K-12 economic and personal finance education programs, including the basics of entrepreneurship, consisting of teaching resources across the curriculum, professional development for teachers, and nationally-normed assessment instruments.
Each year, the Council's programs reach more than 150,000 K-12 teachers and 15 million students in the United States and in more than 30 other countries. These programs are delivered through a diversified system: directly from the Council, through a network of affiliated state Councils and university-based Centers for Economic Education, and through other partner organizations.
