April is Financial Education Month - a great opportunity to elevate the irreplaceable work of teaching young people about personal finance and economics!
Whether by using MCEE resources with students in the classroom or starting the conversation at home, helping children build good financial habits and understanding of the financial world can create positive trajectories. No matter a student’s circumstance, wealth, or background, financial education is a significant step forward on the path toward success. With this knowledge, they’ll become responsible consumers, savers, workers, and citizens. Currently, studies show that more than half of American adults are financially illiterate. This education works to change that and improve all of our futures.
MCEE is here to help! Check out our resources, lesson plans, classroom activities and at-home conversation starters, compiled to celebrate the month, here. Explore our spotlights of Maryland educators doing great work teaching personal finance and economics, here.
