About us
The mission of the Mississippi Council on Economic Education (MCEE) is to increase economic and financial literacy in Mississippi by providing resources and training to public and private K-12 school teachers, empowering students to create a more prosperous future for themselves and Mississippi. MCEE’s purpose is to enhance the quality of instruction in economics, entrepreneurship, and personal finance to Mississippi’s K-12 students in ways that are academically sound and nonpartisan. We train teachers to be proficient in teaching students a demonstrated understanding of economic and financial literacy in order to make informed financial decisions throughout their lives. All students (K-12) need to learn grade-appropriate skills in economic and financial literacy, as well as entrepreneurial skills. One of the primary goals of MCEE is to ensure demonstrated progress in improving the competency of Mississippi’s teachers and their ability to enhance their students’ understanding of financial and economic literacy. MCEE strives to provide the best possible economics, financial literacy, and entrepreneurial education in Mississippi, working together with the national Council for Economic Education, Mississippi Department of Education, Centers on Economic Education, and its additional partners in the education and business communities throughout the state. MCEE will be guided by integrity, fiscal soundness, good stewardship of the funding, and believing in teachers and students enough to achieve their optimal level of financial understanding.

Wow! Who knew? Lesson plans on Gambling and Sports Betting below.
I was surprised last school year to hear high school teachers concerned about teen gambling and sports betting on mobile phones. With sports betting legal now in 38 states, Valerie Castro of NBC News piece highlights how high schoolers are getting hooked on these apps and circumventing age gates. If we needed further evidence of the popularity of these apps, one of the leading betting apps reported record earnings today with U.S. revs. up 39%. One of the solutions cited: the need for more education in schools. In response to teacher feedback, Next Gen Personal Finance created several lessons on Gambling and Sports Betting. If they won't regulate, we better educate. NGPF Gambling and Sports Betting lessons: https://lnkd.in/gAdzXBv3 https://lnkd.in/gGwz6eUs

Listen to our friend Melanie Mortimer!
On #FinancialAwarenessDay, it's crucial to highlight the importance of teaching our children about money. Financial capability from a young age empowers the next generation to make beneficial financial decisions throughout their lives. Starting early is key. By instilling positive saving, spending, and investing habits, we set them up for long-term success. Programs like the SIFMA Foundation’s Stock Market Game are fantastic tools that give students hands-on experience in navigating the stock market and understanding investment principles. Let’s work together to ensure our youth are prepared to build a strong financial future. Learn more about our programs here: bit.ly/3WTp1k2
