Educator Advisory Boards
Members of the Educator Advisory Boards strengthen economic education specialists' connections to schools and universities through contact with teachers, administration, professors, and department of education representatives. Members provide invaluable feedback about materials, programming and opportunities to provide professional growth for teachers. Members help economics education staff stay in close contact with best practices and trends in education at the classroom and administration levels.
