Got Econ?


Economics...the dismal science.  Or so they say. After nearly fifteen years of teaching Economics, I have grown to love not only the subject but also the creativity that goes into relating this important topic to my students.  Usually when I tell people I teach Economics, a sour face is made that may or may not include an eye roll.  

I have been blessed to be a part of the Mississippi Council on Economic Education, one of the top economics/personal finance education programs in the United States! For the past ten years, I have gotten the pleasure of meeting and training hundreds of teachers across the state.  If you don't believe in the incredible work this organization has done, just take a look at the following map and see how many teachers have been certified in teaching economics, personal finance, and entrepreneurship (this does not include thousands who have been trained in various material and curriculums).



MCEE is part of the Council on Economic Education, the national organization.   I can't even begin to tell you the vast amount of resources (K-12) you can find on CEE's page.  

Economics...the dismal science?  Not any more.  This blog intends to share the plethora of ways you can incorporate economics (and personal finance) into any course and at any grade level.  It can be done!  Follow this blog for updates on educational resources, lessons, and strategies!
