The Master Teacher of Economics (MTE) is our flagship program, created to bridge the gap between what educators know and what they need to know. In addition to improving teaching skills, the MTE improves a teacher’s ability and practice of being a good critical thinker. MTEs will have more ability and confidence to empower their students’ critical thinking capacity to make better choices as they plan their personal finance goals. Successful MTEs will understand why economics education is valuable and learn how to present the content in an engaging manner; have the ability to mentor students in making economic and personal finance decisions; articulate answers to the essential questions related to making college and career ready decisions; recognize good economics informational text; and improve in structuring learning experiences. The MTE was developed to be an example that teachers could replicate in their classrooms to meet best practices in engaging students to integrate critical thinking into their lives.
