Economic Connections

 

Educational services promoting economic and personal finance literacy

 

 

Taking the EEK!!! Out of Economics. For too many educators, “economics” conjures up images of dry textbooks, complicated mathematical formulas and obscure subjects of interest only to economic professors. Add to this the challenge of adding another subject to an already crowded curriculum. Economic Connections offers programs and services that will ease your mind.

Workshops and seminars demonstrate how social studies and life management educators can help prepare students for their everyday economic roles as consumers, workers, savers, decision makers and citizens. Available in a wide range of formats and tailored to the needs of participants, programs emphasize:
