Join this interactive virtual session designed to help K–5 teachers seamlessly integrate economics into everyday instruction while establishing meaningful, year-long learning goals for students.

In this workshop, educators will explore how to embed essential economic concepts—such as decision-making, scarcity, supply and demand, and financial literacy—into existing curriculum and daily routines. Participants will learn how to leverage real-world connections, including holidays, current events, sports, and student interests, to make economics engaging, relevant, and easy to implement.

This session will also focus on transforming effective teaching practices into intentional economic learning outcomes, ensuring students build a strong foundation in economic thinking throughout the year.

By the end of this virtual experience, teachers will leave with practical strategies, goal-setting frameworks, and ready-to-use ideas to bring economics to life in their classrooms.

Target Audience: K-5
