The CFO Roundtable has named the Georgia Council as their "Charity of Choice".

The Georgia Council on Economic Education helps teachers teach economics in creative and inspiring ways.

While Georgia teachers must be certified to teach economics, they face the highly challenging task of engaging today’s students in the complexities of the subject. We help teachers meet this challenge by:

• Conducting in-person teacher workshops (more than 100 each year)
• Delivering special programs like the Stock Market Game™
• Creating and disseminating innovative instructional materials

Thanks to the support of businesses, foundations and individuals, we typically provide our services and materials at no cost to the teacher or school. More than 15,000 Georgia teachers have benefited from GCEE’s programs in the last three years alone. The number of Georgia students who have become better educated in economics is in the hundreds of thousands.

The Georgia Council on Economic Education reaches all of Georgia, serving teachers and students in all 159 counties. The range of GCEE’s reach in Georgia includes:

• 180 public school systems, independent schools and home schools;
• Twelve Centers of Economics Education, each housed on the campus of a university or college;
• Nearly 200 schools and school systems are designated EconomicsAmerica schools, integrating them into a network of institutions committed to advancing the teaching and learning of economics.
