the Board

“The biggest benefit for me of MCEE is how relevant the training is to the subject that I actually teach. I can take the lessons I learn at MCEE training sessions and apply them directly in the classroom. They have really prepared me to handle the myriad of questions students can ask in the classroom. For example, being able to answer a student’s ques-tion about “sticky prices”, gives me creditability with the students, prov-ing that I know what I’m teaching and not just reading the same thing they can read in the textbook. I believe that credibility with students goes a long way in being effective in teaching economic concepts.” -Edward Schneider, Murrah High School, Jackson, MS

Vision…...

We envision all children demonstrating grade appro-

priate economic, entrepreneurial and financial litera-

cy.

Values…..

We believe that all K-12 students need to learn

grade-appropriate skills in economic and financial lit-

eracy as well as entrepreneurial skills. Overarching

all work in implementing the mission is to show

demonstrated progress of the teachers in reaching

their students with financial, entrepreneurial and eco-

nomic literacy. Of paramount importance to the or-

ganization is integrity, fiscal soundness, good stew-

ardship of the funding, and believing in teachers and

students enough to “never give up” on them.

Mission…..

The Mississippi Council on Economic Education

(MCEE) is a non-profit, non-partisan, educational or-

ganization founded to promote economic literacy in

Mississippi. The MCEE's mission is to meet the critical

need of ensuring that the K-12 schools and teachers

in Mississippi provide our young people quality in-

struction in economics, entrepreneurship, and per-

sonal finance that is academically sound and non-

partisan. The MCEE provides resources and training

to public and private K-12 teachers in Mississip-

pi, empowering educators to teach their students how

economics relates to their lives as a worker, citizen

and consumer.

What is it?

The Stock Market Game™

(SMG) which MCEE manages

in Mississippi, is a national

online investment competi-

tion for students in grades 4-

12. Teams of three to five

students invest a virtual

$100,000 in stocks, bonds

and mutual funds listed on

the New York Stock Ex-

change, the American Stock

Exchange and the NASDAQ.

Trades are real-time with ac-

tual daily market pricing.

This valuable educational tool

provides an in-depth intro-

duction to equity markets and

supports a broader curricu-

lum in financial and economic

literacy by providing a hands-

on activity that utilizes class-

room instruction in an acces-

sible and exciting format. As

part of the Stock Market

Game™, students learn how

to conduct research, and to

allocate resources while de-

veloping writing, mathemat-

ics, analytical and communi-

cation skills.

The four mathematical

strands—thinking algebraical-

ly, interpreting statistics,

communicating quantitative-

ly, and solving complex prob-

lems are applied in this en-

gaging and real world method

through the SMG.

The SMG also supports Eng-

lish Language Arts standards

through the InvestWrite Es-

say competition. InvestWrite

is a culminating activity that

requires reflection and writing

practice.

What is a Master Teacher of Economics?

The Master Teacher in Economics (MTE)

program is designed for middle and high

school teachers to increase their economic

understanding. This improves teachers’

abilities to bring economics to their stu-

dents in stand-alone economics courses or

to integrate economics as a strand within

social studies and business curriculums.

This program is offered state-wide at the

six Centers of Economic Education affiliat-

ed with the MS Council on Economic edu-

cation. The Department of Education con-

fers the “Master Teacher of Economics”

designation. The Master Teacher of Eco-

nomics is a State certificate program and

secondary social studies, business and

marketing teachers can earn the “193”

economics endorsement by completing the

MTE. Why does Mississippi need Master Teachers

of Economics?

Teachers cannot teach what they do not

know. Social studies teachers who com-

plete the Master Teacher in Economics Pro-

gram score on average 62% on a Test of

Economic Literacy normed for high school

students before the training and 86% fol-

lowing the training for a 40% gain, which

is highly statistically significant.

Students instructed by Master Teachers of

Economics score on average 48% on a

Test of Economic Literacy normed for high

school students before instruction and

86% following the instruction for a 79%

gain, also highly statistically significant.

Economics is a required

course for high school

graduation in Mississippi

What subjects are Master Teachers of

Economics teaching?

509 MS teachers have been

trained in the MTE program

$2,000 Cost to train each teacher

in the MTE program

7

What is a Master Teacher of

Entrepreneurship?

The Master Teacher in Entrepreneurship

(MTEnt) program is designed for teachers

to increase their entrepreneurship under-

standing. This improves teachers’ abilities

to bring entrepreneurship to their students

in stand-alone entrepreneurship courses or

to integrate entrepreneurship as a strand

within any subject area curriculums. This

program has been offered at the University

of Southern MS Center for Economic & En-

trepreneurship Education and the Delta

State University Center for Economic Edu-

cation and Research. The Department of

Education confers the “Master Teacher of

Entrepreneurship” designation. The MTEnt

is a State certificate program and second-

ary business and marketing teachers can

earn the “915” entrepreneurship endorse-

ment by completing the MTEnt and various

other requirements.

Modules presented as part of the MTEnt

program are:

Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship

The Competitive Advantage

Marketing and the Business Plan

Business Finance

Corporations and Management

The purpose of the International Economic

Summit program is to provide students

with a practical, hands on learning experi-

ence in globalization, international rela-

tions and economics.

At the Summit, student teams represent-

ing the nations of today’s complex world,

compete for scarce resources, form stra-

tegic country alliances, debate global is-

sues, invest in long term development

projects, interact with global economic

institutions, and seek to stabilize and ad-

vance the global economy.

The more immediate benefits of the pro-

gram include meeting state educational

standards in economics, building bridges

between schools and universities, and

motivating students to expand their edu-

cational goals and aspirations, specifical-

ly college completion.

Common Core State Standards

Development of mathematics, reading,

writing, speaking, listening, language,

media and technology skills are all part

of the Summit.

Attending Mississippi State University

“Thinking in a big-picture kind of way, Economics encompasses everything we know. It’s the study of the allocation

of resources, and so we can analyze how anything came to be by the resources that were used in its production OR

the opportunity costs paid by it being produced. Every person who lives came at the cost of any other person their

parents may have made, and the nice boat or TV the parents could have bought with the money they saved not hav-ing a kid. It’s just really cool, I guess, having a new way to see the world. The dismal science has done me no

wrong, and I can’t wait to study it further.”
