MCEE is a proud a�liate of the Council for Economic Education

Dear friends,We would like to thank you for your unwavering support of MCEE and its mission of equipping Minnesotans with the economic and personal financial understanding needed to succeed in today’s complex economy.

As we all know, economics is a way of thinking about the world we live in. It instills in young people an understanding that life constantly involves making tradeoffs. Economics teaches our students how to make informed decisions by identifying alternatives and carefully evaluating the costs and benefits of the options. It helps our students understand how the complex economy works by dissecting it into digestible components and demonstrating the linkages among them. Not surprisingly, students with a solid foundation in economics and personal finance are equipped to become smart consumers, productive workers, informed and engaged citizens, and effective leaders. Equally important is the fact that knowledge in economics and personal finance helps our students become ready for college financially—both in accessing financial aid and understanding how to pay for college, and also avoiding the accumulation of excessive debt by the time they graduate.

As in previous years, MCEE fulfills its mission through teaching teachers, engaging students, and reaching communities. Programs for teachers and community agency staff build their capacity to provide effective instruction in economics and personal finance, while student programs attract and energize young people to study these subjects. Learn all about our 2014–2015 programs in the pages that follow. Additionally, MCEE staff and its Board of Directors have finalized a long-range strategic plan for the next few years. This long-range plan is included as an insert with this annual report and is available on our website.

None of MCEE’s programs can be developed or delivered without the contributions and commitment of our many individual and institutional supporters. We are grateful for your generous support over the past year and invite you to continue as our partners going forward to build an even stronger MCEE.

In partnership with you,

our missionto equip Minnesotans with the economic and personal financial understanding needed to succeed in today’s complex economy.

Providing professional development for K–12 teachers is at the core of our work as we believe in the transformational power of talented and dedicated teachers in shaping the lives of young people. Through top-quality professional development programs, MCEE equips teachers with the content and resources in economics and personal finance that they can bring directly to the classroom.

In 2014–2015, MCEE held 20 teacher professional development programs providing 5,893 total hours of training to 588 teachers. These teachers in turn taught 40,667 students this year alone.

A sample of courses and workshops offered in 2014–15 includes:

� Economics for the Elementary Classroom, MCEE’s week-long foundational course for elementary teachers, connects teachers to innovative approaches for bringing economics to life to elementary students. In Minnesota, all grades (K–12) have academic standards in teaching economics, beginning with needs and wants in kindergarten, building to the circular flow of goods and services and money in an economy in 6th grade.

� Entrepreneurship Economics. This three-day workshop equips secondary teachers with tools to bring entrepreneurship into the classroom. In “practicing what they teach,” teachers worked in teams to develop a business plan and presented their plans to a panel of Minnesota entrepreneurs—Shark Tank style!

� Jump$tart Personal Finance: This new, three-day workshop focused on teachers’ own personal finance education in order to better equip them with teaching personal finance in the K–12 classroom.

� Annual K–12 Conference on Teaching Economics and Personal Finance: Each August, MCEE holds a two-day conference that brings together teachers and community partners from across the state to share their experiences in teaching economics and personal finance in the K–12 classroom. In 2015, Senator John Hoffman and State Economist Laura Kalambokidis delivered keynote presentations.

� Preparing to Teach High School Economics, MCEE’s week-long foundational course, is a “must take” course for high school teachers new to teaching economics.

� Online courses in micro and macroeconomics for high school educators. Read more about these two summer courses in the new initiative section.

� Regional workshops on the new High School Economics publication by the Council for Economic Education (MCEE’s national affiliate). Workshops were held in St. Cloud, Mankato, Duluth, and the Twin Cities.

� Workshops for pre-service teachers. Only 2–3% of Minnesota teachers have a solid background in economics. By providing workshops directly to teacher candidates, MCEE exposes new teachers to the world of teaching economics (and how relevant and exciting it is to teach) with the aim of building their content knowledge and piquing their interest in teaching economics.

2015 3M economic educator of the yearMCEE salutes Alan Amdahl, Albany Area Senior High School, for his accomplishments and pursuit of delivering top-quality economics education in his classroom. Alan, in his 25th year of teaching, teaches Government, America History, Political Science, Diversity Issues, and 20th Century World History, in addition to classes in economics. He is the co-chair of Albany’s social studies department, the mock trial advisor, head of the “We the People” program, and an assistant to the Knowledge Bowl team. His is also Head Baseball Coach, assistant football coach, and is the current president of the Minnesota State High School Baseball Coaches Association. MCEE congratulates Alan Amdahl on his achievements in economic education, celebrates his talented and dedicated teaching, and humbly acknowledges the time he gives to his school and community.

Teaching Teachers

“This has been the single most helpful thing I’ve done to adequately prepare myself to teach economics for the first time.“Class participant, preparing to teach high School economics

new initiativesonline eDuCAtion foR teACheRSTo provide flexible, convenient access for teachers across the state to receive top-quality professional development in economics, MCEE has developed online courses in micro and macroeconomics for high school educators. Through multimedia, online learning materials and a series of master teacher-led, live videoconferences, the courses bridge economic content with pedagogy in how to teach the content to high school students. In 2016, both 13-week courses will be available for U of M graduate credit and the James P. Houck Memorial Fund of MCEE will support tuition scholarships. MCEE plans to continue its online course development; in 2016, we will develop two short courses examining issues in food security and food safety through an economic lens.

MASteR teACheRSIn summer 2014 and 2015, a small corps of exceptional K–12 economic teachers came together for a two-day annual retreat, led by MCEE’s PhD-level economics faculty, to build upon their expertise in teaching economics and personal finance. These master teachers have been deployed to lead MCEE’s courses and workshops, in teams or co-teaching with PhD-level economics faculty. The master teachers bring classroom best practices to their peers, helping and mentoring Minnesota teachers to gain knowledge and skills in transferring complex economic concepts to the students they teach. In 2016, MCEE will encourage additional qualified teachers to apply to the program, with the aim of building a cohort that represents Minnesota regionally.

MCEE believes that students with strong economic and personal finance knowledge are empowered to make effective decisions for themselves and their communities, thereby encouraging individuals’ pursuit of personal fulfillment and advancement that benefits the self, families, and communities. In 2014-15, 4,200 Minnesota students participated in MCEE student programs and competitions.

nAtionAl eConoMiCS ChAllenge

This national competition applies the excitement of an athletic competition to academic excellence. It encourages students to apply their economics knowledge and work in teams, answering rigorous questions in microeconomics, macroeconomics, international economics, and current economic events. The state competition is held annually at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.

Mounds View High School students Abraham Chen, Emily Ruan, Sam Rush, and Jacob Weightman, coached by Martha Rush, reached the national competition. Only four teams qualify for the national competition held in New York City, and in 2015, the Mounds View team brought home the gold.

peRSonAl finAnCe DeCAthlon

Modeled after Economics Challenge, this student competition provides a fun, challenging, and competitive format for testing students’ personal finance knowledge. In 2015, teams from Albany High School, Robbinsdale Armstrong High School, Cloquet High School, Lake Crystall Wellcome Memorial High School, Mounds View High School, Roseau High School, and Valley View Middle School

(Edina) qualified for the state competition. The state competition is held annually at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. In 2015, Mounds View High School represented Minnesota at the Nationals in St. Louis, Missouri.

gloBAl fooD ChAllenge

This research-based competition motivates students to investigate important economic issues in national and global food markets, food trade, food safety, and food security. In 2015, student winners hailed from Norwood–Young America (teacher Mark Lagergren), Cloquet (teacher Tim Prosen), Albany Area Senior High School (teacher Alan Amdahl), and Austin High School (teacher Rayce Hardy).

personal finance Summer institute for College Readiness and SuccessThirty young people from the metro area attended this week-long summer institute to learn about personal finance and financing postsecondary education. At least 90% of students attending identified as low-income, first generation to attend college, or from a group traditionally underrepresented in higher education. Students were guests at 3M’s corporate campus and met with a panel of 3M employees who shared their education and career paths. Students also met with a U of M financial aid officer who guided them through the FAFSA process and financial aid packages.

Some student feedback on the program:

� [I participated in this program] because I have had no idea or any knowledge on personal finance … I will be the first to go to college in my family, so I don’t get help from anyone at home on things like this.

� Learning personal finance is important because it set[s] themselves up for greatness later in life, instead of making long-term mistake[s] early on.

� I would tell student[s] that they should join [this program]. There are so many life lessons and financial lessons for us,

Engaging Students

I’m definitely going to take all the information I gained in this program and use it to make important choices in the near future. Student participant, personal finance Summer institute for College Readiness & Success

making it worth your week. It also helps prepare us earlier, which because of this, we can become better saver[s] and spenders. Overall, this program can help you become the person you want to be in your future.

personal finance for young MothersWorking closely with social studies teacher, Jolene Glaspie, MCEE provided intensive personal finance instruction at AGAPE High School, a high school in St. Paul for teens who are parenting or pregnant. The course provided personal finance basics in addition to sessions on accessing and paying for postsecondary education.

Math and econ in St. paul public SchoolsSince 2011, MCEE’s Mathematics and Economics curriculum for grades 2–5 has been used in St. Paul Public Schools’ summer session, with over 2,000 students each year using the curriculum as a real world approach to math application.

new initiativesMpS KiDS SAve!Partnering with U.S. Bank, Minneapolis Public Schools, and Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges, MCEE delivered financial education to over 1,200 Minneapolis third graders. U.S. Bank employees delivered a lesson on “savings goals” using a popular children’s book, A Chair for My Mother, and encouraged students to identify their own savings goal. U.S. Bank CEO Richard Davis and Mayor Betsy Hodges kicked off the program with a visit to Anishinabe Academy.

[This workshop] was an excellent presentation of concepts, ideas, and curricula that have been proven to work in the classroom. The non-lecture type learning and hands on focus will be very effective in the classroom. Class participant, MCee Workshop held in thief River falls

Community mentorship for Financial Capability brings together University of Minnesota Extension Educators and community agencies across the state to collaborate on financial education programs that help to move individuals toward financial self-sufficiency. The program introduces communities to the financial concepts and tools they need to understand in order to make sound economic choices, to improve their personal financial situations, and to participate effectively in the economy. MCEE recognizes that achieving financial stability leads to achieving real possibilities, self-determination, and sustainable self-, family- and community economic advancement.

In 2015, we partnered with three Twin Cities community organizations to provide financial education to their low-income or vulnerable constituencies:

� Goodwill – Easter Seals minnesota

� Dakota County Sheriff’s Office, Jail Programs Department

� Interfaith Outreach & Community Partners

Six community organizations will participate in the 2016 program.
