Our primary focus is working with K-12 teachers in assisting them in integrating economic concepts and activities into their curriculum.

Specifically, the Center offers:

• Teacher Training Programs that are designed to increase teachers' knowledge of basic economic concepts as well as improve their ability to teach that knowledge. Both credit and non-credit opportunities are offered by the CEE.
• Consulting Services to Iowa school districts, education agencies, and community groups about the development of curriculum, course content, resource materials, and teaching strategies.
• Curriculum Lending Library for Iowa educators to assist them in developing appropriate educational units in economics.
• Student Enrichment Programs for Iowa students. Presently these include the Iowa Stock Market Game™Program and the Economics Challenge Competition.
• Advocate for Economic and Personal Financial Literacy Education. The Center works with various constituent groups to raise awareness and promote the importance of economic and financial literacy in the state. Contact the Center if you would like to arrange a presentation on economic and financial education.
