Residential Teacher Programs

To fulfill the Foundation for Teaching Economics’ mission to promote excellence in economic education by helping teachers become more effective educators, ÎäËÉ´óÕ½Å˽ðÁ« offers different professional development opportunities to teachers. These range from single day seminars to week-long residential programs.

Each program format provides methodological and content instruction. Participants learn to incorporate activity-based lessons into their economics classes and also add to their expertise in the field. In addition to micro-and macro-economics, programs also covered a variety of applied economic topics, such as economic history, international trade, and the environment.

The ÎäËÉ´óÕ½Å˽ðÁ« strives to make these programs accessible to all teachers. The cost is subsidized so participants pay a nominal fee, if any, to attend. Programs are offered nationwide so teachers have the choice of multiple dates and locations.

  • This program has not changed the way I think about economics, but it has changed the way I will teach economics by making my lessons more lively and interactive. Teaching economics does not have to be dry and just looking at charts!

  • Environment and the Economy helped me understand the link behind the “science” of “economic science” and the economy. I really think it will help me be a more well rounded teacher and not have to send students to their science teacher to have their questions answered!

  • ÎäËÉ´óÕ½Å˽ðÁ« programs are perfect for any high school teacher of any subject. ÎäËÉ´óÕ½Å˽ðÁ« has given me a solid foundation in teaching Economics and has led to the opportunity for me to train at the district and state level (in Economics). I even led a session at the latest CEE conference!

  • EFIAH specifically dove into areas of American History that I have visited often, but not in this way! It will be a great asset to my classroom. The physical activities are also a great help for my lesson planning and delivery.

  • This program taught me new information and activities that I look forward to bringing to my students. I will be using the activities modeled in this program with my students!
