Enhancing Social Studies Curricula with Economics
For Teachers Grades 7-12
July 27-31, 2009
University of Minnesota, St. Paul
Earn two graduate credits at no cost by taking this week-long course designed for social studies educators seeking to insert economics into their geography curricula. Basic economic principles will be taught through the demonstration of learning activities that embed and integrate economic standards into geography.
During the academic year two follow-up Saturday meetings will be determined by participants. The course meets 8:00am - 4:00pm daily from July 27-July 31.
A $100 stipend will also be paid for the week-long course, plus $20 for follow-up Saturdays. Travel stipends of $235 are available for the first eight registrants living outside the 7-county metropolitan area.
A teacher in the class last summer had this to say, “I liked the activities. The discussions took economics from a bunch of charts and graphs to something very concrete and real life for me. Thank you for all the wonderful materials!”
This project is pending funding from the Federal Improving Teacher Quality Program of the No Child Left Behind Act administered by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education.
