It was exciting to partner for a 2nd year with @mymcpsva for their CTE EXPO! We were absolutely blown away by the effort students put into creating posters, handouts, and brochures to educate the public on personal finance topics! A few of the many photos of their amazing work:

Great news! Our friends at @econiful have added the Virginia EPF standards to their resource guides, meaning you can easily look through each VA standard and quickly find a lesson for that topic. Material from their amazing Units 1-3 is linked with Units 4+5 coming next year!
Wondering which Econiful lessons align best with your state standards or econ course? If you're in AZ, GA, NC, or TX, check out our resource guides! Teaching AP Micro or Macro? We've got guides for those too! https://t.co/a15grA0vcY

Social Studies teachers should check out this book!
@Nate_Powell_Art’s adaptation of James Loewen’s classic “Lies My Teacher Told Me” is absolutely fantastic. If you’re a Social Studies teacher you need to add this to your collection and share with your classes! Shoutout to @historycomics for inspiring me to preorder months ago
