State Farm grant assists ASU teacher
development
State Farm Insurance has awarded a grant of $5,760 to the Arkansas
Council on Economic Education (ACEE) and to the ASU Center for
Economic Education. Sue Owens, executive director
of ACEE in Little Rock,
and Dr. Larry Dale, director, ASU Center for Economic
Education, were on hand to accept the grant. The
grant will provide continuing education workshops for high school
teachers in northeast, eastern, and central Arkansas in the field of
finance education. The ASU Center for Economic Education works in tandem with ACEE
to raise awareness and promote use of the principles of finance education in
grades K-12 throughout the poorest quarter of the state. The center
trains teachers to instruct students in general banking principles,
and to understand and judiciously use credit, with special reference
to interest rates. State Farm is the largest
insurer of homes and automobiles, both in Arkansas and in the
nation. The insurance company believes that understanding real-life
financial issues is fundamental to creating educated consumers and
money managers.
