Economic Literacy: A Simplified Method for Teaching Economic Concepts

Economic Literacy is designed to help students gain a better understanding of how the American economic system works. Difficult and confusing economic terms and concepts are presented in a simplified format, making them easy to teach and learn. Lessons offer students an opportunity to practice research skills and accessing information through technology. Real-life activities allow students to explore economic concepts. This results in meaningful learning that promotes economic literacy. Each lesson contains five sections. The Reading Exercise introduces students to a specific economic concept, while building vocabulary. An assessment evaluates student comprehension of information in the reading exercise. The Historical Connection section features primary source activities that provide connection between economic concepts and historical events. Knowledge Builders are challenging activities, simulations, and games that reinforce learning of core economic concepts. The Teacher Resource Bank contains useful information for teachers. Lessons are correlated to the National Council on Economics Education (NCEE) Standards and the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS). A list of suggested resources and related websites have been provided for further research or reference. Economic Literacy supports the Excellence in Economic Education (EEE) Act, the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, and the Education Through Technology Act of 2001.
