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.

MCEE Teacher Night at the Fed continues to bring economics to life for Michigan educators!

We recently completed our third event of the school year, featuring Nick Khouri, former Michigan State Treasurer, for an engaging discussion on public policy and economics. The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago - Detroit Branch Supervision and Regulation team also joined for for an engaging session with teachers.

These evenings give teachers the opportunity to take a deeper dive into the content they teach, while gaining real-world stories, examples, and experiences they can bring back to their students. They also get to partake in a tasty meal and enlightening conversation with colleagues!

Thank you to Nick Khouri and all of the educators who joined us for another great night of learning and conversation!

Teachers from across Michigan spent two summer days strengthening their personal finance and economics instruction at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago – Detroit Branch, sponsored by the Michigan Credit Union Foundation.

Day one featured an outstanding NGPF FinCamp, an immersive, hands-on professional development experience designed to help educators level up their personal finance instruction. Teachers collaborated with colleagues, explored engaging resources, practiced classroom-ready lessons, and earned professional development credit for work that will directly benefit their students.

A huge thank you to Amanda Volz and Brian Johnson for doing an amazing job facilitating this NGPF learning experience and helping teachers leave with practical tools they can use immediately in their classrooms.

Day two focused on economic and personal finance resources, lesson demonstrations, and timely content knowledge. Mike Kaiman traveled from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis to introduce teachers to FRED, the Federal Reserve’s economic data website, lead lesson demonstrations, and connect educators with a rich repository of classroom resources through Federal Reserve Education.

Teachers also heard from Martin Lavelle, Business Economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, who provided an update on the Michigan and national economy. Our president, Derek D’Angelo, shared lessons on sports betting, using images to tell economic and personal finance stories, and blending economics and personal finance into meaningful classroom learning experiences.

Most importantly, thank you to the outstanding teachers who committed two summer days to improving their craft. Their dedication to helping students build financial knowledge, economic understanding, and real-world decision-making skills is inspiring.

Thank you to the Michigan Credit Union Foundation and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago – Detroit Branch for investing in teachers and supporting financial education across Michigan.

What an incredible day in Grand Rapids at our West Michigan Personal Finance Conference, sponsored by LMCU.

One of the best parts of this event was seeing teachers treated like the professionals they are. These amazing educators gave up a summer day to strengthen their own knowledge, sharpen their skills, and bring high-quality personal finance lessons back to their students this fall.

Throughout the day, teachers engaged in active lesson demonstrations, built content knowledge, and participated in a “Chat with the Professionals” session featuring LMCU experts in investing, banking, fraud protection, insurance, credit cards, and more. They also had the opportunity to connect with Michele Cagan, author of The Infographic Guide to Personal Finance.

The day ended with teachers treated to the LMCU suite at the West Michigan Whitecaps game after a full day of professional learning.

A huge thank you to LMCU for not only supporting personal finance education, but for showing such genuine care for teachers, students, and the broader West Michigan community. Their commitment to education and community impact was on full display.

Most of all, thank you to the outstanding teachers who showed up ready to learn, collaborate, and invest in their students’ futures.
