NCCEE conducted 40-hour professional development sessions this summer to prepare educators across the state of North Carolina to teach the new Economics and Personal Finance (EPF) course. As a requirement of the 2020 EPF Summer Institute PD, teachers were tasked with creating lesson plans based on their assigned standard and objective. This resource table including a suggested pacing guide is the product of their efforts.
The document features over 300 lesson plans designed by educators and combines numerous resources. Each lesson was curated to ensure that the following components are included: a bell ringer, video, article, podcast, independent work, assessment, exit tickets, and instructions on how to deliver the content both in person and virtually. Click on the EPF Course Guide to access a pacing guide, lesson plans and more.

A new CEE resource, Math in the Real World brings together the expertise of math teachers and economics teachers to create interdisciplinary lessons that teach important personal finance and economic concepts in the context of math lessons.
