Mini Economy
Thursday, April 12 & Friday, April 13, 2012
UW Oshkosh
Do you wish you had a hands-on approach to teaching life skills such as money and fi nance, wants and needs, goods and services, and other related economics and fi nancial literacy topics? If you are a teacher devoted to teaching beyond the textbook and giving your students a chance to learn by doing, you will be inspired by the unique Classroom Mini-Economy. Imagine all students learning basic money and other economic skills by having "paid" jobs and running banks, insurance companies, stores, or other businesses. You will truly be inspired and motivated by the easy-to-implement techniques and activities that create a classroom community based on real economic and life skills without adding more units to your already busy school day. Thursday, April 12 will be for Elementary school teachers and a general session. Friday, April 13 will be an additional session for Middle & High School Teachers.
This workshop will be led by Deirdre Watts, Center Director for Economic Education, UW Oshkosh. Registration is limited to 35 and is $25.00 per session.
