The Foundation for Teaching Economics (FTE), established in 1975, aims to improve the quality of economic education by assisting economics teachers in enhancing their effectiveness as educators. FTE focuses high school and middle school grade levels by providing professional development programs and resources to teachers.
Resources for Teachers
FTE has an outstanding reputation among U.S. educators for its strong emphasis on active learning, utilizing engaging activities and lessons as a distinctive aspect of its curriculum. An exceptional feature of FTE’s educational approach involves instructors demonstrating these the activities with high school students.
FTE staff continually monitors state educational requirements so all curriculum correlates with both the Common Core state standards and all 50 state standards in economic education.
