We will begin the evening, as always, with a wonderful meal at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago - Detroit Branch. 

Agenda TBD.

Money Chats is a virtual professional development series designed to support teachers who are preparing to teach AP Business with Personal Finance. The Michigan Council is hosting the first event in the series, Unit 1: Businesses, Competition & New Ideas. Units 2, 3, & 4 will be hosted by other CEE affiliates in subsequent months. Registration information will be shared once the other sessions are scheduled.

Unit 2: Marketing (March TBD)
Unit 3: Finance & Accounting (April TBD)
Unit 4: Management & Strategy (May TBD)

Each one-hour session focuses on a single unit from the public AP Business with Personal Finance course framework and combines high-level content discussion, original classroom activities, and conversation around instructional strategies.

The series is led by Alex Lamon, Executive Director of the New Jersey Council for Economic Education and a current pilot teacher of AP Business with Personal Finance. Alex facilitates the sessions in his capacity as a classroom educator and CEE affiliate leader, not in any official role with the College Board.

What the Session Includes (1 hour)

• A high-level overview of the unit’s key topics as outlined in the publicly available course framework
• An interactive, independently created classroom activity or case study
• Guided discussion on pacing, instructional approaches, and common classroom challenges
• Resource walkthrough and open Q&A

Sessions are designed to be practical, discussion-based, and immediately useful, rather than lecture-driven or prescriptive.

Attendees will receive 1 SCECH for each unit they attend in the series.

We will begin the evening, as always, with a wonderful meal at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago - Detroit Branch. 

Agenda TBD. End of year celebration for teachers!
