The
Center for Economic Education at Virginia Tech provides assistance
to Virginia's educators in teaching economics at the primary
and secondary grade level. The Center provides K-12 economics
curricula and activities, in-service training workshops and
graduate-credit courses for teachers. Other services include
classroom visits from the Center's staff, publication and
dissemination of curricula on economic concepts and issues,
and coordination of the Stock Market Game (SMG). An additional
focus of the Center is to help policy-makers, extension agents,
non-formal educators, and general citizens gain a better understanding
of economic principles for their decision-making.
