[WSCSS] FTE Spring and Summer Programs

[Linser, Will (William D)]

Foundation for Teaching Economics

Spring and Summer Program Offerings

 

Graduate Credit Available

 

EFL and EFIAH feature revised curriculum

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Foundation For Teaching Economics is offering an expanded list of
programs this spring and summer with increased offerings of both
Economics For Leaders and Economic Forces In American History programs.

 

The EFIAH program has been revised with an emphasis on aligning the
lectures directly with the history standards and the addition of more
interactive lessons and engagement by the teacher participants.

 

Last year the EFL was revised to put emphasis on world poverty and
economic development as the organizing framework for teaching
fundamental economics.  Some new activities were introduced as well as
more teacher engagement in afternoon sessions.

 

All of these FTE programs provide lodging and meals for the participants
and graduate credit is available.

Demise of the Soviet Union, Is Capitalism Good for the Poor and The
Economics of Disasters.  Each unit contains 5-7 teaching activities and
content background.

Environment and the Economy

 

During these four-day, residential programs, teachers learn how to use
economic principles to analyze environmental issues. Participants learn
how a rational, economic approach to the environment helps students
understand the complexity of these issues. Lesson plans are demonstrated
and discussed in order to build confidence in their effectiveness.

Economics For Leaders

 

The goal of each EFL program is to provide teachers with lesson plans of
simulations and activities, economics content instruction, and a
networking opportunity with other teaching professionals. The
combination of classroom instruction, question and answer sessions,
small group discussion and workshops presents information in a rich and
varied format, encouraging active participation.

A feature of EFL that past participants have found especially useful is
the demonstrations: the EFL staff model the activities and simulations
with high school students. Attending teachers gain direct experience
with the lesson plans before they leave at the end of the week.

Economic Forces In American History

These widely acclaimed, cross-curricular programs help teachers
incorporate economic reasoning into their high school American history
courses. Program instructors provide economic explanations of pivotal
historical events.

Participants learn interactive teaching strategies that incorporate the
actual circumstances of historical periods of study. With EFIAH lesson
plans, teachers can help their students learn by re-living history
rather than just reading or hearing about it.
