Center for Economic Education at Virginia Tech
The Center provides professional development programs and classroom-ready resources to help K–12 educators effectively teach economics, personal finance, and entrepreneurship in Virginia’s primary and secondary schools.
Free in-person and virtual programs provide an opportunity for teachers to:
- Brush up on their content and pedagogical knowledge of economics, personal finance, and entrepreneurship concepts, skills, and mindsets
- Familiarize themselves with state requirements included in the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) and Career and Technical Education (CTE) competencies
- Obtain free curricula and resources for teaching active learning lessons in the classroom.
Programs offer recertification hours and undergraduate/graduate credit. Customized in-service programs to meet the needs of teachers or school divisions, and curriculum development assistance are also available.
The Center is proudly affiliated with the Virginia Council on Economic Education, the Council for Economic Education, and Virginia Cooperative Extension.
