| Teaching or planning to teach the new Economics and Personal Finance course? Then this 6 day institute in Newport News is for you! Blending economic content and classroom methodology, this program focuses directly on the new economics SOLs. Participants will experience first-hand how the “economic way of thinking” turns basic economics concepts into “life skills” that enable them to make more meaningful and productive day to day decisions. A detailed analysis of how market economies work and the personal and societal implications of economic indicators – inflation, unemployment, and economic growth, etc. – will also contribute to more informed decision-making as consumers, producers, savers, investors, employees, and citizens. A broader analysis of economies as a whole will conclude the program, allowing participants to make better sense of world situations.
Participants receive classroom curricula valued over $100. Click on Workshop Description for registration deadline and |

| Virtual Economics for Middle School |
| Middle School |
| Feb 8, 2012 , between 04:00 PM - 07:00 PM |
| This session is designed to introduce middle school and other teachers to the wealth of resources available on the Virtual Economics CD Rom from the national Council for Economic Education (www.councilforeconed.org). Each participant receives a copy of the disc. After a guided introduction, each participant will complete a scavenger hunt using the disc. After a short break, the class will work together locating lessons on the disc that support the Civics and Economics SOLs. Finally we will use the lessons to define and demonstrate some of the CE content.
A $100 value, this CD-ROM contains more than 1,200 lessons which can be searched by key words, publications, grade level and Virginia SOL. An active, hands-on lesson can be printed for almost every K-12 economics SOL. |
