partnersFor more than 50 years, the National Council on Economic Education (NCEE) 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. This new program, developed by NCEE and sponsored by the Bank of America Foundation, provide an excellent and dramatic step in the direction of improving economic and financial literacy. The National Council on Economic Education (NCEE) is a nationwide network that leads in promoting economic literacy with students and their teachers. NCEE's mission is to help students develop the real-life skills they need to succeed: to be able to think and choose responsibly as consumers, savers, investors, citizens, members of the work force, and effective participants in a global economy. NCEE secures and administers national programs and grants; promotes national and state economics standards; publishes classroom materials; offers on-line resources; performs research and assessment; and leads, accredits and provides core resources to its national network of state Councils and university Centers for economic education. Support & Governance NCEE secures funds from corporations and associations, agencies of the federal government, individuals, and public and private foundations to support and deliver powerful impact programs. A distinguished, voluntary Board of Directors governs NCEE, with members drawn from all of NCEE's constituencies. State and local volunteers are also engaged throughout the NCEE network. Our Unique Delivery System In addition to grants provided by NCEE, the affiliated state Councils raise funds to support their local programs. The university-based Centers in each state foster professional development of K-12 teachers and show them how to use NCEE materials effectively. Our 250 Centers conduct research and evaluation on state standards, teaching methodologies, and outcomes in economic education.
