With economic and personal finance education, students gain the essential decision-making and money skills to thrive in our free-market economy.
Since 1962, Economics Arkansas has been training Arkansas teachers PreK-12 how to integrate principles of economics and personal finance into the classroom curriculum. Learn more and become involved.
We Invest in Teachers
All training provided by Economics Arkansas is certified by the Arkansas Department of Education, i.e., standards-based and curriculum aligned. In addition, it is relevant, engaging, hands-on and often downright fun. We like to say that we take the "eek" out of economics.
For detailed information, please visit Resources at a Glance by grade level or category.
