| International Economic Summit Free Workshop |
The International Economic Summit (IES) is a world trade simulation program that challenges high school students to think critically about concept of globalization. FREE Workshop on January 9-10 from 8:00am-4:30pm.
IES is a standards-based instructional unit that includes 13 individual lesson plans, providing flexible classroom implementation by easily flowing into an existing course of study or as a stand-alone unit. By utilizing an experience-based learning model, it provides students with a solid foundation in economic fundamentals and incorporates a method for active-learning that is fun as well as challenging. Over the course of the curriculum, students form teams, adopt a country, and take on the role of Economic Advisors. Each team conducts extensive research on “their” country in order to generate a strategic plan to improve living standards. The culminating activity is a six-hour, real time global trade simulation where student teams competitively implement their strategic plans in the simulated global marketplace.
The FRBSF is committed to providing the following materials and services to teachers at no charge:
- Teacher Professional Development - Two days covering the use of standards-based economic concepts imbedded in the project, the instructional materials and the Summit Web site, and the experience-based learning cycle.
- Instructional materials including the Teacher Handbook, a Mini-Summit Kit for running a classroom simulation, and a classroom set of students workbooks called Players' Guides.
- Mini Summit implementation support.
