I hope you and your families are doing well.  This note is to provide an update and remind you that ICEE spring programs are gearing up.  We’re bringing back workshops and to kick off, ICEE is exited to be partnering with Marginal Revolution University again to share their latest resources. Our partners at CEE are also continuing to provide online workshops via EconedLink.  I heard from many of you that you missed Econ Camp this year.  If there is interest, ICEE will host a Zoom Indiana teacher meet up in February – send me an email note if you want to join, suggested topic(s) and your preference for time to meet.  Finally, if you know a economics or personal finance teacher in your building or at another school, forward / share this with them!

Thanks!
Jeff
