ABOUT CENTER FOR ECONOMIC EDUCATION

 

Welcome to the Center for Economic Education at the University of Memphis. The CEE is affiliated with the National Council on Economic Education. We provide a number of services and direct support for K-12 teachers and administrators who recognize the importance of integrating economic and financial education into the existing curriculum.

All curriculum materials provided by the CEE are correlated with standards in other disciplines, such as science, mathematics, language arts, geography, history, civics and government, personal finance, and, of course, economics. All materials involve students in activity-based learning.

The CEE provides workshops for K-12 teachers who want to incorporate economics and finance education into their classrooms. No background in economics is ever required for these integration workshops.

Integrating economics and finance education increases students’ analytical ability, test scores on standardized tests, and their level of interest as curriculum materials use real-world applications. For more information about the consequences of inadequate economic and financial education, click here (economic statistics).

If you would like to receive email notification of workshops that might be of interest to you, fill out the information at Mailing List and you will receive automatic notification of workshops for your grade level.

All workshops are presented free of charge and all materials are provided. This is made possible by generous corporate donations.

CEE activities are sponsored by and other contributors.
