Teachers need little background in formal economics to benefit from this workshop, although teachers who have studied economics will recognize fundamental economic themes that inform the lessons. The lessons can be used in a variety of subject areas, including environmental, social studies, and science classes. The Economics and the Environment curriculum guide and all necessary program material will be provided for teachers registering for the spring session. One hour graduate credit is available from the Economics Department of Illinois State for those who complete additional work after the workshop. Most of the concepts covered meet the new Illinois Social Studies Standards in Economics.
Advanced registration is required.
Registration is limited to 20 participants. Registration deadline is Mon. 5 April at noon. If you are in the Illinois area, feel free to contact our office to get more information about these upcoming events. All rights reserved.
