This one-evening professional development program introduces middle and high school teachers to current topics in economics. The program will include a discussion of the current outlook for the U.S. economy. Lessons for teaching about exchange, specialization, and trade will be demonstrated and distributed. Participants will also be introduced to the new Federal Reserve Education website. The program will help educators address the following essential questions:
- What is the outlook for the U.S. economy?
- How do people specialize and trade?
- Who benefits from trade?
- Where can teachers find Federal Reserve education resources?
Taught by Federal Reserve economic educators, this program emphasizes active- and collaborative-learning teaching methods that help middle and high school teachers meet state and national standards in economics, social studies, personal finance, family and consumer sciences, and business education. Participants will receive 2.5 hours of professional development credit (Act 48 in Pennsylvania for certified teachers), dinner, a $25 gift card, and teaching materials.
