Financial Literacy Month
At CEE, every month is Financial Literacy Month, but we’re happy there’s a dedicated month for the rest of the country to celebrate! This April, we have ideas for you on how you can celebrate Financial Literacy Month, whether you’re a teacher, a student, or just want to get financially savvy!

Kick off the month at our free bootcamp where you’ll get expert training on teaching earning income, saving, budgeting and related subtopics. Our instructors will provide resources, strategies and sample lessons for teaching these concepts in a synchronous or asynchronous setting.
