Economics doesn’t have to be the dismal science! Participate in hands-on lessons and activities on key economic concepts of unemployment, inflation, GDP and trade and learn about free resources, from infographics and online courses to videos and podcasts, designed to engage students and spark learning in your economics classroom.
Dive into the power of place-based learning with Beacon, a location-based game currently in development that makes civics and history education engaging, accessible, and relevant for students... all with a low lift for teachers! Participants will give feedback on the game and collaboratively brainstorm modules to address critical gaps in local civics curriculum in Wisconsin.
Images project the stories histories (of past and present) related to civic virtues and democratic principles. This session employs an interactive, three-step process for students to de-familiarize images from a single meaning and address the complexities of visual narratives. No art experience needed.
