| Topics in Middle/High School Economics: Supply and Demand |
| Middle School, High School |
| Mar 23, 2010 , between 4:15 PM - 6:00 PM |
| During this session, we will define supply and demand through real world examples, examine the ways in which these two forces interact, and demonstrate ways in which this interaction helps determine prices in the market. We will explore supply schedules, demand schedules, market equlibrium, and how certain factors influence supply and demand and affect prices. Participants will receive classroom-ready lesson plans designed to introduce and reinforce these concepts.
This is one of a series of Topics sessions focused on economic concepts embedded in the newly revised middle and high school History & Social Science SOLs. |

| Fundamentals of Economics - Part A |
| High School |
| Jun 23, 2010 to Jun 25, 2010 , between 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM |
| Held in Spotsylvania, this is the first of a two part course that will provide an invaluable foundation for teachers new to teaching economics and/or personal finance. How well you understand the world around you depends on how well you understand basic economics. When understood and taught correctly, basic economic concepts empower people with “life skills” that enable them to make more meaningful and productive day to day decisions. This program will emphasize the “economic way of thinking” while covering topics such as opportunity cost, marginal analysis, production possibilities frontier, circular flow, types of economies, competitive markets, productivity, cost of production, supply and demand, product markets, labor markets, human capital,and entrepreneurship.
