Econ Ed Month of October a Success!


We are glad to report that during the Economic Education Month of October, we were able to offer 32 professional development opportunities to teachers. Not bad for a month with 31 days in it! Teacher participants were given an educational resource to use in their classrooms as well as a small stipend for attending. This added to our already impressive program numbers, and we have six more months to go! 


TeacherTalk
I have been teaching Economics for 12 years, and Economics Arkansas has regularly equipped me with engaging and relevant activities. These resources help my students personalize the Economics and Personal Finance curriculum. I have many testimonials from grateful students who have utilized these lessons in real life situations.
