Preparing Educators to Teach an Economic Way of Thinking

Grade: 7-12

Economic forces influence the decisions we make every day, and understanding them helps students become more informed decision-makers. In this recorded workshop, educators will explore the economic way of thinking through engaging lessons, hands-on activities, and real-world examples. Discover practical strategies for helping students analyze choices, consider trade-offs, and apply economic reasoning to everyday situations. Participants will gain ready-to-use classroom resources that make economic concepts relatable while strengthening students’ critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
