SUMMARY:CEE: The Hidden Costs of Tariffs: What They Mean for Your Wallet
DESCRIPTION:Tariffs often function like an invisible tax on consumers. This session explores how tariffs reduce purchasing power by raising the cost of essential goods and discouraging discretionary spending. In early 2026\, economists have observed that broad\, universal tariffs tend to affect consumers in two key ways: they take more money out of individuals’ pockets for necessities and make people less likely to spend on nonessential items. \nParticipants will examine how changes in spending ability impact individuals and families—and why these effects are not felt equally. The session will cover what tariffs are\, the three main types of tariffs\, and their real-world impact on households. Classroom-ready examples\, a student worksheet\, and guided discussion questions will be provided to support deeper\, more global thinking about trade and consumer behavior. \n\n\n\n\nTeachers will be able to: \n\n\nHelp students understand how tariffs shape prices\, trade\, and consumer spending \n\n\nExplore why the economic impact of tariffs varies across families and communities

SUMMARY:CEE: Social Media Financial Advice: The Good\, The Bad\, The Bizarre
DESCRIPTION:This webinar helps teachers address the growing influence of financial advice on social media. Participants will explore what makes advice helpful or unhelpful\, with an emphasis on empathy\, credibility\, and student decision-making. Teachers will then be introduced to a reusable\, editable evaluation tool designed to help students analyze financial advice using clear criteria rather than opinions alone. Using real social media posts\, participants will apply the tool and discuss how it can be adapted across grade levels\, platforms\, and personal finance topics. The session is highly practical and focused on immediate classroom use\, with examples and strategies teachers can implement right away. \n\n\n\nTeachers will be able: \n\nIdentify characteristics of helpful and less helpful advice in general\nApply those characteristics to social media financial advice\nEvaluate social media advice with an easy to use tool

SUMMARY:Beyond the Bet: The Economics of Gambling
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Matt Pierson\, Associate Director\, Nebraska Council on Economic Education in Partnership with the Maryland Council on Economic Education \nApril 16\, 2026 \n7:00 PM  \nIn this session we will demo and learn about three brand new lessons hosted by the St. Louis Fed on the economics of gambling.  These lessons all focus on active learning and help students not only understand the economic concepts of gambling but also the warning signs of problem gambling.  Students will learn how to identify problem gambling\, learn to understand the risks associated with gambling\, and also learn about the world of sports betting and the incentives at play in that arena. Teachers will leave with three ready to use lessons they can try in their classrooms the next day!

SUMMARY:CEE: Power Up Your Economics & Personal Finance Instruction with Design Thinking!
DESCRIPTION:Design thinking skills are creative\, innovative problem-solving skills for the classroom\, the workplace\, and real life—and they’re exactly the kind of skills employers are seeking in new hires for today’s Innovation & Gig Economy. Even better\, these entrepreneurial mindset process skills double as highly effective instructional strategies for teaching economics and personal finance concepts and reasoning skills while simultaneously developing workplace readiness. Join us for a fun\, interactive webinar where we’ll break down the 5-step design thinking process by watching videos of teachers implementing design thinking in their classrooms\, then unpack multiple design thinking examples geared toward middle and high school students. Teachers will brainstorm additional economics and personal finance problems that students care about—problems that design thinking helps solve—and identify where design thinking can be seamlessly integrated into their curricula to boost engagement and retention. Practical instructional strategies and free\, classroom-ready resources will be shared to help successfully bring this next-level pedagogy to economics and personal finance classrooms. Real-world assessment strategies\, including simple yet highly motivating Design Challenge friendly competitions\, are included. Participants will also learn about the Online Entrepreneurship Institute for teachers and the aligned U.S. Entrepreneurship Certification Examination for high school students. \n\n\n\nTeachers will be able to: \n\nExplain how the 5-step design thinking process functions as an effective instructional strategy for teaching economics and personal finance while developing students’ innovative\, problem-solving\, and workplace readiness skills for the Innovation & Gig Economy.\nIdentify opportunities to integrate design thinking into existing economics and personal finance curricula\, including the use of simple Design Challenges as engaging\, real-world assessment tools.
