Professional Development
Empowering Teachers Through Professional Development
Since 1953, the Maryland Council on Economic Education (MCEE) has been committed to empowering educators with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to teach economics and personal finance effectively. We believe that well-equipped teachers are essential to building financially capable students—and thriving communities.

Courses are taught by a diverse group of professionals, including:
- MCEE staff and master trainers

Their collective insight ensures that each session is both practical and powerful.
Flexible Learning Formats
Our professional development programs are offered in a variety of formats to fit your schedule and learning preferences:
- In-person workshops

- Full-day courses
- Online self-paced modules
These sessions provide hands-on strategies, engaging lessons, and real-world applications to bring economic and financial concepts to life in your classroom.
