Www.TeachingMoneyVA.org was created to help Virginia's high school teachers share and find quality resources that they can use in teaching Virginia's new economics and personal finance course. Using various search options, teachers can find lesson plans, speakers, videos, simulations, and other resources to help them get a particular concept across to their students. Businesses from the financial services industry and nonprofit and educational organizations collaborated to make this resource clearinghouse available to teachers.

With recent changes in the graduation requirements, many teachers are, or will be, teaching the new economics and personal finance Standards of Learning. VCEE and affiliated centers for economic education, in collaboration with many in the public and private sectors, are providing teachers professional development opportunities to help enhance their understanding of these SOL and provide them quality resources, including creative lesson plans to use in the classroom.

High school students from around the Commonwealth gathered for the Governor's Challenge on April 20th at Virginia Commonwealth University. 30 teams from 23 different Virginia school divisions participated! Thanks to the generous support of Appalachian Power, Dominion Foundation, Verizon Foundation, and Virginia Credit Union.
