Spring break isn’t just a vacation—it’s a perfect way to teach real-world economics! This workshop will provide high school teachers with fresh, engaging lesson ideas that connect economic concepts to something students care about—spring break travel and spending.
Teachers will explore supply and demand in the travel industry, price changes in airfare and hotels, opportunity cost in student spending choices, and the impact of tourism on local economies. Using case studies, data analysis, and classroom-ready activities, participants will walk away with practical lessons that make economics more relevant and exciting for students.
Join us and bring the real-world economics of spring break into your classroom!
Due to the interactive nature of the presentation, all participants will be required to have reliable internet access and a device with video and audio capabilities.
All attendees will receive:
- Engaging, standards-aligned activities exploring supply and demand, opportunity cost, price elasticity, and tourism economics.
- Practical examples featuring airfare trends, hotel pricing, and student budgeting decisions.
- 1 hour of professional development credit
