Questions and answers
Across the United States, the Federal Reserve, through its Federal Reserve Education Program, helps people understand how the economy works so consumers have the tools to make sound financial decisions. Through this education program, teachers have access to classroom-ready online resources for students from kindergarten to college— videos, classroom lessons, online education, publications, and more. These resources are all free for educators to use in their lesson plans or as they see fit. Many of the Federal Reserve's Regional Reserve Banks, located in 12 districts across the nation, also offer in-person and online professional development that allows educators to deepen their knowledge and hone their craft when it comes to economics, personal finance, and more. At the Board and Reserve Banks, students also get hands-on opportunities like internships and participation on student boards, which introduce them to key economics concepts and potential careers in economics and finance. Consumers are empowered to make sound financial decisions through the availability of easy-to-understand resources that explain personal finance concepts the broader economy, and the Federal Reserve's role in it. Federal Reserve Education is committed to equipping educators, educating students, and empowering consumers when it comes to understanding and participating in our evolving economy.
