Providing classroom and online resources/programming/assessment

Developing and circulating classroom materials for all grade levels Stock Market Game reaches nearly 10,000 students annually Take Stock in Kentucky teaches students about Kentucky business Financial Fitness for Life (K-12) Investing Knowledge for Asset Building (college)

Creating unique classroom programming enhancing Kentucky’s future

Beyond school life to real life These Econ Challenge kids know about money, markets, and investing for the future.

 Economics is about choices- More than 1.5 million families filed for personal bankruptcy last year. 45% of college students are in credit card debt, with the average credit card debt being more than $3,000.  Economic education is essential for informed and active citizenship- 40 million Americans are “unbanked.”  Economics is about personal finance- More than half of American families live from paycheck to paycheck. Economic education addresses financial illiteracy

Economic education is worth the investment It’s about the everyday business of life. It’s about trade-offs. It touches every aspect of living. Economic education supports a well-functioning, informed democracy. If you think education is expensive…try ignorance!

Behind every economic educator in Kentucky, you’ll find KCEE promoting the everyday business of life!

Community leaders make economic literacy happen … will you join us?
