Note: This is a two-evening program. Participants must attend both sessions.
Join us on March 20th and April 10th for a two-evening professional development program that introduces middle and high school educators to lessons for teaching about world geography and economics together. The lessons demonstrated in this program provide educators with grade-level appropriate activities for teaching about a wide range of geography and economics topics, including:
- How can the geography of a country influence where goods are produced?
- What are the geological forces that have moved continents farther apart, and what are the economic forces that bring them together?
- What are the push and pull factors of migration?
- How can we compare the population sizes and standards of living of different countries?
- What characteristics of different countries influence how productive their citizens are?
Taught by Federal Reserve economic educators, this program emphasizes active- and collaborative-learning teaching methods that help middle and high school teachers meet state and national standards in geography, economics, social studies, family and consumer sciences, and business education. Participants who complete both sessions will receive 5.00 hours of professional development credit (Act 48 in Pennsylvania for certified teachers) and a copy of the World Geography: Focus on Economics lesson book.
