The Minnesota Council on Economic Education offers an Economic Systems class to help high school educators prepare students to meet state academic standards in economics.
The course includes a review of basic economic concepts, use of materials to augment interactive learning, and an examination of assessment techniques. Educators will receive instructional materials that include lessons listing concepts, objectives, procedures, and suggested assessment methods. Content areas to be addressed include micro, macro, and international economics.
The course meets 8:00 - 4:00 daily. Participants will receive curriculum materials, lunch and morning refreshments as well as 40 hours of CEUs. Travel stipends of $200 will be available to the first five registered teachers from outside the seven-county metro area.
You will benefit from this class. “Everyday I went home with too many ideas to contemplate! Both professors simplified the material for high school and made me feel comfortable with economics. I want to be excited about economics. Thank you for the excitement!” (Quote from a teacher in last summer’s class.)
