Description:

Incorporating personal finance and economic education in our nation’s schools. At this challenging time, we hope that you and yours are safe and taking good care. April is usually the month when CEE celebrates financial literacy with a variety of programs, events and our annual spring fundraising appeal. We will delay some of these activities and gauge the right time to engage in our mission with you, knowing that there are more urgent priorities now. That said, as many children are now at home, our team is continuing with what has always been the heart of our mission – supporting teachers. VISIT ECONEDLINK WATCH VIDEO Our Challenge In America we spend billions of dollars helping our children master reading, writing and arithmetic. And then we send them out into the world lacking the basic skills to prosper in life: understanding personal finance and economics.

The Council for Economic Education’s (CEE’s) mission is to equip K-12 students with the tools and knowledge of personal finance and economics so that they can make better decisions for themselves, their families, and their communities.We carry out our mission by providing resources and training to K-12 educators and have done so for over 70 years. Nearly two-thirds of the teachers we reach in-person are in low to moderate income schools. All resources and programs are developed by educators and delivered by our 188 affiliates across the country in every state. We reach over 50,000 teachers a year through in-person professional development and those teachers, in turn, reach approximately 5 million students throughout the country. EconEdLink, our free online educator gateway for economic and personal finance lessons and resources, attracts more than 700,000 unique visitors per year.
