Econiful builds free, active, standards-aligned economics and personal finance curricula for high school teachers. The lesson plans are written by experienced educators and are classroom-tested. Every lesson plan comes at no monetary cost, and includes editable slide decks, handouts, and assessments.
What's inside Econiful's curricula?
This short tour shows how a unit comes together and what arrives with each lesson plan. Both courses are built on the same structure, so finding your way around one lesson means finding your way around all of them.
