Economics is part of the state standards. How can you teach it in a way that goes beyond having your students memorize definitions?

This workshop is designed to make teaching and learning economics exciting and rewarding. This curriculum

• Builds on the world in which children in elementary school live
• Integrates economics into math, language arts and literature, so you can use your days more efficiently
• Is activity-based, so your students learn by doing
• Uses discussion, reading and writing to further clarify economics concepts

Teaching economics is NOT HARD! This curriculum guide will help you do so in a way that will be fun for your students and you.
