The Massachusetts Council, a CEE Program

Enabling and inspiring young people to shape the world around them through financial and economic education

What is the Massachusetts Council?

The Massachusetts Council is the local chapter of the Council for Economic Education. We offer CEE programs that are tailored to the needs of Massachusetts teachers of personal finance and economics.

Through the Massachusetts Council, teachers can find standards-based curriculum, resources, and professional development designed to build educator and student knowledge, materials to support student participation in state and national competitions, and the opportunity to make regional connections.

We focus on:

  • Providing high-quality, topical classroom resources for teachers 
  • Offering professional development programs that build teachers’ skills and confidence, and supports their MA PDP continuing education credit requirements 
  • Increasing the number of Massachusetts students participating in CEE’s National Economics Challenge and National Personal Finance Challenge
  • Advocating for Massachusetts state requirements for K–12 financial literacy 
  • Connecting like-minded teachers and fostering a supportive and helpful community

Certified by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (ESE) to provide professional development (MA PDPs), we proudly offer free professional development opportunities and engaging educator events tailored to the needs of teachers of personal finance and economics across the great state of Massachusetts so they can best serve their local school districts.
