Welcome!

I’m Scott Wolla, a lifelong economic educator who serves as an Assistant Vice President and Economic Education Officer at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. I focus on making economics clear, relevant, and useful for students, educators, and the public by translating complex ideas into practical insights.

I have taught economics in high school, college, and professional development settings for more than 25 years, and that classroom experience continues to shape how I design and share resources today. I’ve co-authored textbooks and teaching materials, and published widely on economic literacy, monetary policy, and effective teaching practices. Beyond writing, I enjoy connecting with learners and colleagues through speaking, teaching, and developing classroom tools that bring economics to life.
