Shanan Riegle, an award-winning teacher from Yorktown Elementary School in Indiana, shares tips for creating a mini-economy in the elementary school classroom. As Shanan says in the video, “things that you could never stage in a lesson happen” when your students are responsible for managing their own classroom economy every day. If you would like more information about how to implement a mini-economy in your classroom, please visit the CEE https://store.councilforeconed.org/, and click on the Classroom Mini-Economy by Harlan Day.
