Too often educators feel constrained by their curriculum. The goal of this workshop is to show topics that are not commonly covered in an economics classroom, but are useful & engaging for students and give educators additional ideas in curriculum creation for any secondary level economics course. This includes pyramid schemes, manipulative advertising and more!
