Why economics?
Economics affects all of our lives. It teaches us to think logically, use data smartly, and develop strong analytical and problem-solving skills. It helps explain choices as small as your personal day-to-day decisions and as large as foreign policy decisions.
How to celebrate Econ Ed Month
There are so many ways to celebrate! Here are a few ideas:
Families can have conversations about how they make decisions for themselves, their families, and their communities
Teachers may invite community and business leaders to visit their students to share how their decision-making process compares to families making choices every day.
Students can reach out to business and government leaders to advocate for quality economic education in their schools.
Anyone can join the Econ Ed Month activities on social media by using #EconEdMonth.
