Nebraska Council on Economic Education Our Mission

Nebraska Council
on Economic Education
Our Mission
The mission of the Nebraska Council on Economic Education is to act as a catalyst and
lead a statewide initiative to advance economic literacy.
Our Values
We believe that students should develop economic ways of thinking and problem solving
that they can use in their lives as consumers, savers, investors, members of the workforce,
responsible citizens and effective participants in a global economy.
Our Vision
The vision of the Nebraska Council on Economic Education is to assure that all students
from kindergarten through high school have an on-going education in economics and to
enhance teachers’ understanding of economics and their ability to teach economic
concepts to their students.

A Letter from the Executive Chair
The Nebraska Council on Economic Education continues its important
mission of educating teachers and students in the state about our
economic system. The Council supports credit courses and curriculum
workshops for teachers as well as a variety of activities for students.
The programs are delivered throughout Nebraska by the five centers for
economic education located at the three University of Nebraska
campuses in Lincoln, Omaha and Kearney and at Chadron and Wayne
State colleges.
The Council continues to search for a full-time president who would
also become a faculty member in the UNL Department of Economics.
In the meantime Bill Walstad, Professor of Economics at UNL,
continues to serve as the interim Council President. A national search
is underway for an economist to fill the full-time position.
I wish to thank all of the 2003–2004 contributors to the Council’s efforts to enhance and promote
economics education in Nebraska. The program depends on contributions from the many businesses
and individuals who value these programs. The public support from the University of Nebraska and
the state colleges is also vital because it provides the foundation for reaching the many teachers who
are served by our staff, and who, in turn, provide a multiplier effect when they teach about the
economy to Nebraska students. All of this support is greatly appreciated. I can assure you that your
contributions are leveraged into support for educating many students in all corners of the state and
toward improving economic and financial literacy among the citizens of this state. We look forward
to building on this strong foundation for even more successful programs in 2005.

about the day spent on the topic

“It was fun to have the banker
come,” and “The President of US
Bank came and talked to us!”

A Letter from the Interim President
I am pleased to have had the opportunity to serve as the interim President of the
Nebraska Council. This organization continues to assist Nebraska teachers and
schools in meeting their goal to increase the economic and personal financial
understanding of Nebraska students. We continue to accomplish this mission
by supporting the work of our five academic centers for economic education.
This past year the Council, through its centers, has been very productive in
training teachers, preparing and distributing curriculum materials, and offering
special programs for students. That essential work will continue during my
tenure in this position.
I am looking forward to another exciting year as I work with the Council’s
Board of Trustees and its Executive Committee as we make the transition to
new leadership. I commend all of the Council’s contributors for their support
during the past year. The Nebraska Council remains a highly effective
organization due to the partnership between these private contributions and the
public support of the Univeristy of Nebraska.

Interim President &
Professor of Economics,

Some learning experiences also directly involved 683 elementary and secondary

Economics is Everywhere!
The first annual economics camp for
middle level students entitled,
Economics is Everywhere took
twelve students on a journey into the
exciting world of economics as it
related to money, entertainment,
government, sports, and the global
economy. The five day event was
hosted by the UNL Center for
Economic Education. Each of the
five, fun-filled days included a
variety of activities, speakers, and
fieldtrips. This camp was the first of
its kind in Nebraska and was a “huge
success” according to the participants.
Comments on Economics is Everywhere Camp:
“I hope you have another economics camp next year!”
-Camp participant
“This camp makes economics come alive!”
-Camp participant
“We are impressed that you have put this together. It is very valuable, and
you have obviously put a lot of thought, planning, and coordination into
it.”
-Camp parent
“Most valuable is that [my daughter] learned economic terms and
concepts and how to make wise saving and spending decisions.”

King Elementary School teacher, Jill Teachout,
proudly displays a project for the 2004 Mini-Society
with two of her students. The Mini-Society is a
simulated economy within the classroom.
A parent’s reaction to her daughter’s experience
with economic education:
“The most beneficial aspect for her was being
introduced to the basic econ terms and principles in
a way she understood—it was her first exposure.
Also, the mock economy (including taxes) was a
great experience for her.”
