Minnesota Council on Economic Education
The Minnesota Council on Economic Education is a non-profit, non-partisan organization, founded in 1961, which seeks to provide Minnesotans with the economic understanding they need to function effectively in a complex, global environment.

The Council accomplishes this mission by developing and conducting teacher and community education programs, using existing organizations and networks. The goals of the Minnesota Council are to provide comprehensive economic education to educators; develop and disseminate high quality economic curriculum materials; provide curricula, teaching exercises and student competitions that augment existing curricula and instructional objectives; encourage and reinforce the efforts of education professionals to bring economic understanding to the youth of Minnesota; develop and support economic educational programs aimed at the general public, educators, communities, and other targeted groups; and develop and advocate the use of measurable outcomes to indicate program effectiveness.

The Minnesota Council's programs are delivered though a network of University-affiliated Centers for Economic Education located at Minnesota State University-Mankato, Minnesota State University-Moorhead, St. Cloud State University, the University of Minnesota-Duluth, and the University of St. Thomas. The academicians who serve as center directors bring Minnesota Council programs to educators. They, along with the Executive Director of the Council, are contributions in-kind by their universities as a partnership pledge with the Minnesota Council to bring improved economic understanding to Minnesota educators and their students.
