About the Event

Beyond the Basics offers teachers the opportunity to delve into advanced economics topics in a fun, simple, yet thorough way. Through the implementation of a variety of activities, resources, and assignments, learn how intricate economics terms, that usually confuse students, can become familiar topics. This workshop allows experienced and new teachers to explore innovative ways of teaching economic topics such as elasticity, externalities, exchange rates, fiscal policy, and price stability.

Economics is present in our everyday life; we see the change in price of goods and services, pay taxes, see how policies are implemented, experience the effects of inflation, weigh costs and benefits when making decisions, and, with an increasingly interconnected world, we regularly participate in trades and exchange currencies. Nonetheless, many students find it hard to understand the wide array of topics that underlie these everyday experiences. Join us to learn how to break down economic terms and to engage your students in the classroom!
