the primary mission of CCEE is to train teachers,
registration priority will be given to active
teachers (including substitutes). We love to see
retired teachers and even members of the general
public at our seminars but a seat will be reserved
for these persons on a space-available basis.

How does the government raise its tax revenue? What tax structure is fair? What
structure is efficient? In this seminar we discuss the pros and cons of
alternative types of taxes. Since all taxes are levied on some type of economic
activity, understanding the efficiency of alternative types of taxes is
dependent on how people respond to the incentives created by the taxes. We
discuss the efficiency and equity of the personal and corporate income taxes,
the payroll tax, and value-added and consumption taxes.

The recently adopted (2010) personal financial literacy (PFL) standards are embedded in the state math and economics standards. If you wish to teach about financial planning, saving, investing, credit, insurance or any of the other PFL expectations, CCEE is here to help you with training lessons and resources...with a foundation of economic reasoning! Classes marked with the dollar sign icon are personal financial literacy topics.
