2026 Summer Institute

Get ready to re-energize your teaching this summer.

Join us July 14–16 for a high-impact, fully virtual Summer Institute packed with interactive sessions, real-world connections, and classroom-ready strategies.

This isn’t sit-and-listen PD—it’s learn by doing.

Across three engaging days, you’ll explore topics like money, careers, and the real economy through hands-on activities, simulations, and discussions. From Swiftynomics to creative investing lessons and real-world decision-making, every session is built to keep you engaged and inspired.

You’ll also get access to new resources, including a classroom investing simulation with Vanguard and a project-based personal finance course created by CEE where students act as financial advisors.

Walk away with ready-to-use lessons, fresh ideas, and tools you can use right away.
