The National Council on Economic Education (NCEE) is a unique nonprofit partnership of leaders in education, business, and labor devoted to helping youngsters learn to think, to choose, and to function in a changing global economy. It was founded in 1949, and today is the premier source of teacher training and materials used to instill an understanding of economic principles for grades kindergarten through twelve. NCEE works through a nationwide network of state councils and over 250 university- and college-based centers for economic education. The National Council's hallmark program is EconomicsAmerica. It also operates an international economics training initiative called EconomicsInternational.

The National Council on Economic Education:

• is the organizer and driving force in developing the Voluntary National Standards in Economics, and is the national resource for the implementation of those standards throughout the country.
• develops curricula for teaching economics.
• publishes and distributes state of the art economic education books, teacher strategies, and resources for classroom use.
• directs the annual National Awards for Teaching Economics.
