For more than 60 years, the Council for Economic Education has been calling attention to the need to educate our young people effectively in the skills of economics and personal finance and showing how that need can best be met. The Virtual Economics resource, developed by the Council for Economic Education and sponsored by State Farm®, puts valuable teaching resources at the fingertips of economics teachers.

Council for Economic Education

The Council for Economic Education offers comprehensive, best-in-class K-12 economic and personal finance education programs, including the basics of entrepreneurship, consisting of teaching resources across the curriculum, professional development for teachers, and nationally-normed assessment instruments. Each year, the Councils' programs reach more than 150,000 K-12 teachers and over 15 million students in the United States. These programs are delivered through a diversified system: directly from the Council, through a network of affiliated state Councils and university-based Centers for Economic Education, and through other partner organizations.
