Academic friends, its now August (aka panic prep time). If you find yourself teaching a course like History of Economic Thought, consider an NCAA-style tournament to help your students recall, discuss, and compare dozens of different thinkers over history. I did it both times I taught HET and it was a lot of fun. I discuss the assignment in this article forthcoming in the Journal of Economics Teaching: https://lnkd.in/eQJ4i-du

Why do we buy the things we buy? And how can we improve our quality of life in a world of limited resources? These are just a few of the questions discussed in Microeconomics taught by Jonathan Gruber as a part of the Data, Economics, and Design of Policy MicroMasters Program.

This month is Econ Education Month, I believe students but also adults, should learn about economics because it provides insight into how the world works at every level from personal finance to global markets. What econ encompasses but also what it teaches individuals is decision making skills, financial literacy, awareness of global issues, and problem solving skills to name a few. Economics also gives individuals career versatility. It opens multiple career paths such as business, government, education, and nonprofits. Overall, economics provides people with the knowledge and skills to better understand and manage the complexities of modern life. Happy Economics Education Month! Noah Richardson Ryan Goss

What’s the most rewarding part of teaching IB Economics? Teaching the skills. I love it. And Paper 1 asks kids to show their skills. Here’s why: * 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀, advising policymakers on real-world challenges. * 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲—not just content mastery but also how effectively students communicate their analysis and evaluation. * 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 to the exam for Part (b). As teachers, we’re preparing students not just for the exam but for the real-world application of economic theory. Want to help your students excel?
