CEE MISSION STATEMENT

The major objective of the center is to promote economic literacy in the schools (K-12), institutions of higher learning, and in the larger community.  The center seeks to achieve this objective through curriculum development and consultation, workshops and courses, materials dissemination, and education research.

The increasing complexity of economic issues and problems requires that students develop decision-making skills and an understanding of the economic system within which they must operate as consumers, producers, and citizens. Thus, economic literacy should be an important part of the basic skills emphasis. Through the California Council on Economic Education (CCEE) and with full support of the National Council on Economic Education (NCEE), a comprehensive program is available to California classrooms via the Center for Economic Education.

Serving as the program arm of the NCEE and CCEE, the Center provides important services to meet the economic education objectives of the NCEE and its affiliated institutions. These services include: regular offering of on- and off-campus workshops and instructional programs in economics; providing consultation for schools, colleges, and community organizations; developing and/or distributing economic education materials; and conducting research in economic education.
