The New York Fed’s Economic Education team recognizes the vital role teachers continue to play on the front lines of the pandemic, and we value and appreciate their work. Educators are charged with instilling knowledge and inspiring curiosity, and because today’s students include tomorrow’s policymakers, the New York Fed has a suite of online resources available to support teachers in the study area of economics.
The Econ Ed team, which itself is comprised of experienced educators, provides accredited professional development, curriculum resources, and economic information — all freely available to help engage students. Featured resources include:
