“The certification program training has made economics FUN!!! This is the first training I have been to where ALL of the teachers were engaged!
 
I always hear that teachers are the worst group of people to present to, but you kept an entire room of teachers and educators from all aspects actively engaged and happy. Kudos!!!”

Exceptional Economics Teacher Quote

I’m so grateful to CASET and the Economics for Empowerment workshops. The activities and simulations bring energy and joy to my classroom. The students are excited to come to class and find out what we are doing that day. I’m excited that I can let learning be the focus instead of teaching. As a 17-year veteran economics teacher there are too many days when I go home knowing I taught it but wondering if they actually learned it. I have way fewer of those days now.
