Economics is Everywhere (EIE): A New K-8 Economics & Personal Finance Curriculum
Economics is Everywhere (EIE): A New K-8 Economics & Personal Finance Curriculum
Teaching economics and personal finance in today’s classrooms requires more than standalone lessons — it requires content that is standards-aligned, culturally responsive, developmentally appropriate, and realistic for the time teachers actually have.
Economics is Everywhere (EIE) is MCEE’s fully redesigned K–8 curriculum built to meet the 2021 Minnesota Social Studies standards while intentionally integrating literacy, ethnic studies, and diversity, equity, and inclusion principles throughout
This is a thoughtfully rebuilt curriculum created in partnership with Minnesota educators to ensure economics and personal finance instruction is meaningful, engaging, and accessible for every classroom.
