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 designed to bring economics, personal finance, and real-world decision-making into your classroom in meaningful, engaging ways.
This isn’t sit-and-listen PD—it’s learn-by-doing.
Across three interactive days, you’ll explore the real economy through hands-on lessons, simulations, discussions, and classroom-ready strategies. From labor market trends and behavioral economics to investing, financial decision-making, and interdisciplinary math connections, every session is designed to be immediately useful in your classroom.
You’ll also gain access to powerful new tools and resources, including a classroom investing simulation with Vanguard and a project-based personal finance course developed by CEE where students step into the role of financial advisors.
Walk away with ready-to-use lessons, fresh ideas, and strategies to help your students think critically, reason like economists, and engage with the world around them.
