It’s reasonable for students to ask, “Why do I need to know this?” Open your students’ eyes to the relevance of economics by teaching key concepts using current events. TRBF is offering a professional development series this fall to help you use the headlines to increase student interest in economics. The first installment in the series will focus on the issues of scarcity, opportunity cost, and incentives in the news. Participants will receive a certificate of professional development as well as access to digital resources.
