The
EconomicsAmerica program at ISU assists regional schools (university service
area) to improve their consumer and economic curricula. The Center plans
to achieve its goals through assessing teacher improvement needs, school
district education enhancement needs, and encouraging use of standards-based
curriculum. Our goals are concurrent to those of the National Council:
"to prepare students
to become fully participating citizens and productive members of society
by providing them with an understanding of the American economic system
and an ability to make sound economic decisions."
The ISU Center offers several
different options for creative and effective lessons for teaching economics
to all ages. Check out our on line resources and workshop pages for more
information.
The purpose of the Center for Economic
Education at Idaho State University is to improve the quality and expand
the reach of consumer and economic education at all levels of public,
and private education, and the general public
