Did you know that the Arizona History and Social Science Standards assign economics standards at every grade level? Instruction in economics and personal finance empowers students to become better decision makers and prepares them for their roles as producers, consumers, investors, and citizens. The UArizona Office of Economic Education (OEE) provides free training to elementary and high school educators so they have the knowledge, resources, and confidence to teach economics effectively.
In addition to the free workshops we offer on weekday afternoons and Saturday mornings, the OEE can build a professional development workshop tailored to the needs and preferences of teachers in a specific school or district. The OEE will provide a facilitator, instructional materials, snacks, and prizes at no cost for both elementary and secondary educators! Contact the Director of Educator Programs, Megan Kirts at mkirts@arizona.edu to request a workshop.
