Reimagine, Reenergize, Reinvent Your Economics Classroom, a Webinar Series

Join the Arizona Council on Economic Education (ACEE) for a dynamic series of webinars designed for both new and experienced economics educators seeking fresh ideas and strategies. This series will inspire, energize, and equip you with engaging tools to make your classroom more interactive, relevant, and effective.

SESSION 1: The Power of Play: Games that Teach

Bring energy and excitement to your classroom through the power of play! This interactive, standards-based webinar will introduce 7th–12th grade teachers to engaging games and simulations that make key economics and personal finance concepts —such as budgeting, scarcity, opportunity cost, and market interactions—come alive for students.

Teachers will leave the webinar with a classroom-ready lesson plans, and digital resources aligned with state standards that will bring the power of play into your classroom, helping students think critically, make informed decisions, and enjoy learning economics.

Participants will be eligible for 1 hour of professional development credit.  

Please contact Kathy Pondy if you have any questions related to this workshop.  

New for ACEE Webinars! 

We’re excited to share that ACEE is launching a new program to value the time teachers dedicate to professional learning. 

Starting officially in January 2026, current Arizona teachers who participate in an ACEE webinar will receive a $20 Amazon gift card as a token of appreciation for their time and engagement. 

After the webinar, participants that are current Arizona teachers will receive follow-up information about the gift card process and will have an opportunity to share feedback on this new initiative. 

Your input will help us refine this process and ensure it meaningfully supports educators like you. 

You have to be an ACEE member to sign up for a program. Membership is free.
