Each program format provides methodological and content instruction. Participants learn to incorporate activity-based lessons into their economics classes and also add to their expertise in the field. In addition to micro-and macro-economics, programs also covered a variety of applied economic topics, such as economic history, international trade, and the environment.
The FTE strives to make these programs accessible to all teachers. The cost is subsidized so participants pay a nominal fee, if any, to attend. Programs are offered in both synchronous and asynchronous formats to fit all schedules.

The FTE programs are very adaptable to the classroom. This is the first time getting a glimpse into breakout rooms. It was fun, engaging, but, most of all, it was educational!

This is a wonderful program offering a small group activity/breakout rooms that will be fun to incorporate into either face-to-face or online classroom settings. Thank you!
Michael GibbonsEconomics of Land Use Workshop -
I am more excited than ever to teach economics! I like the idea of opening major concepts with games and then using that game/activity as a touchstone.
