It is free of charge, thanks to N.H. Department of Education grant support, and is additionally sponsored by UNH's Department of Resource Economics and Development and Department of Natural Resources. Enrollment is limited to 25 participants, and the registration deadline is May 12. Staff development credit will be available. This year's program focuses on all new topics, with a presentation by Dover High School teacher John Carver, who participated in last year's workshop. Problems in the classroom Forestry and wildlife economics Bruce Lindsay, UNH professor of environmental and resource economics, and Carlo Nattoli, Exeter High School economics and world history teacher, are the workshop directors and will both teach sections.
Students learn such concepts as marketing, purchasing and how to make a profit.
While this is good, it's somewhat limiting. It's something students can grasp, because they're real issues that their communities are grappling with. Each area discussed will include an overview, relevant economic concepts, activities for student analysis, and references for student reading. Workshop presenters include senior UNH faculty members who are renowned experts in their fields. For more information, or to obtain a registration form, contact Lindsay at 862-3923.
