Inspired by educators like Joey, our region came together in October to celebrate Economic Education Month, engaging in professional learning designed to elevate economic understanding in classrooms. Our Econ-O-Ween conference offered spirited, hands-on lessons; Econiful elevated data literacy through unemployment rate analysis; the Stock Market Game sparked curiosity statewide; K–5 Content for Confidence provided elementary teachers with tools to introduce foundational economic concepts. Favorites like The State of the Economy and the SYLP event on leadership in the digital age continued to engage teachers and students across Delaware. We were also honored to receive the Albert Beekhuis Award, recognizing our long-standing commitment to economic education.
As personal finance education strengthens statewide, we proudly attended the HB 203 Governor signing, advancing personal finance education requirements for all high school students in Delaware, an important milestone in statewide financial literacy. Looking ahead, our focus remains clear: to continue building community and deepen the connection to economics and personal finance concepts that shape real-world outcomes. This year, we are introducing the Ronni K. Cohen Personal Finance Educator of the Year Award to recognize excellence in personal finance education, and we have exciting programs ahead, including Family FinLit Nights, The Personal Finance Classroom, Foundations of Financial Literacy, and Revised Keys to Financial Success 5.0, where educators will engage directly with Federal Reserve of Philadelphia experts and CEEE staff in Philadelphia or Dover to support the implementation of HB 203.
Thank you for your dedication, creativity, and heart. Together, we are building a community grounded in knowledge, connections, and opportunity for every learner. We look forward to continuing this work with you in the months ahead.
Wishing you a joyful, restful, and inspiring holiday season.
Onward,
