Have You Ordered Your Lesson Plan Kit?
Have you heard about our just-released What We Do Lesson Plan Kit? It is designed as a supplement for the average high school or entry-level college economics course. It aims to help you teach about the role of the nation’s central bank in a new and multi-modal way.
The kit includes a DVD that outlines the role and responsibilities of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, a game that helps students understand the concept of inflation, a set of multiple-choice questions and a take-home assignment that requires the students to reflect on what they have learned. For your convenience, the entire lesson plan is included in both a print and electronic format. Order it, then try it out!
Are You Ready for the Challenge?
If you're an educator, March and April are busy months. We hope the new What We Do Lesson Plan Kit will offer some new resources you can use in the classroom. If you've signed up for either our Fed Challenge or our Euro Challenge, we suggest that you take a moment to check up the sites for the latest news on dates, agendas and more!
