PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
EMORY UNIVERSITY
ATLANTA, GA
July 15 – 21, 2019
$300 Attendance Stipend Available
The Foundation for Teaching Economics (FTE) is pleased to offer this week-long program. In this workshop, high school teachers “go back to school” and are taught by university professors and mentor teachers. What’s unique are the games and simulations: instructors run the activities with real students so the teachers can observe the students’ interactions. The teachers see, up close, why FTE-designed lessons are so effective and leave with a better knowledge of economics, new classroom strategies, and a renewed enthusiasm for teaching.
Program participants meet and stay on the Emory campus. Seminar begins at 4:00 pm on the 15th and ends at 5:00 pm on 20th.
Three semester hours of graduate credit available.
Program details:
Lodging, meals, and materials will be provided by the Foundation for Teaching Economics. Attending teachers will also receive a $300 stipend.
Curriculum correlated with the Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE).
Attendance is open to teachers of economics, history, and social studies, as well as curriculum coordinators and administrators.
