Right Start in Teaching Economics

A program designed to support educators new to teaching economics

The Right Start in Teaching Economics program is designed to support teachers, especially those who are new to teaching, or just new economics educators, in becoming more knowledgeable and effective in their classrooms. This four-day residential program combines lectures, discussions, case studies, and simulations to help participants feel confident in teaching economics to students.
