This one-day professional development program introduces teachers to a series of activities, experiments, games, and illustrations designed to effectively teach middle and high school students about behavioral economics concepts.
Lessons will address the following essential questions:
- Do people always make economic decisions by strictly weighing the costs and benefits of each alternative?
- Can arbitrary numbers stick in our minds and affect our decision making?
- Why don’t we always choose the best option when making a decision?
- Why do people tend to procrastinate when it comes to doing things that are good for them?
- Under what circumstances do people not make rational economic decisions?
