Building Real-World Financial Literacy Across Michigan

The Michigan Council on Economic Education (MCEE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization—the primary resource for Michigan’s K-12 teachers and school districts seeking training and classroom resources for economic and financial education, at little or no cost thanks to financial support from our partners.

"Our goal is to reach and teach every child to create a more informed citizenry capable of making better decisions as savers, investors, borrowers, voters, and participants in the global economy. We do this by educating the educators: providing the curriculum tools, the pedagogical support, and the community of peers that instruct, inspire, and guide."

Educator Empowerment

Educating the Educators: Pedagogical & Curriculum Support

We empower teachers across Michigan through high-impact professional development, standards-aligned curriculum tools, state certification programs (MI-FI Teacher Academy), and a thriving community of peers.

As a state affiliate of the National Council for Economic Education (CEE), MCEE connects Michigan schools to a network of over 200 national affiliates and university-based centers that train approximately 55,000 teachers reaching 5 million students annually.

Why Economic & Financial Literacy is Important

Our global economy has become so complex that the gap between what people know about economics and personal finance, and what they need to know, is widening every day. Americans are increasingly responsible for their financial future; yet an alarming number lack even basic economic awareness.

📊 NAEP Proficiency Gap
Only 43% of 12th grade students tested at or above proficient on the most recent National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) economics assessment.
🌐 Global PISA Ranking
American teenagers fall in the middle of the pack globally in financial literacy, performing around the average of 18 participating PISA nations.
👩‍🏫 Teacher & Parent Preparation
Many parents are ill-equipped to instruct their children in personal finance, and teachers are often unprepared without MCEE’s specialized training.
