Resources for Economics

 

The Council for Economic Education’s EconEdLink website, has lessons that fit well in civics, history, government or business classes.  Most lessons have a PowerPoint with visual attached next to the lesson, are user friendly, and provide all resources necessary.  Lessons on elections, budgets, deficits and healthcare are available.  

 

Planet Money is a great resource to explain the economics behind current events.

Blog and podcasts can be downloaded on the iPhone through an app 

 

I often find things I want to share so I will post these on the Bessie B. Moore Center for Economic Education Facebook.

Funding for Economics Projects in Arkansas!

 

 

1. What’s available? The Walton Family Foundation is offering 50% match funding to Arkansas economics projects requesting $600 or less in materials.

2. Who qualifies? Arkansas public or charter school teachers!

3. How do I participate? There are two easy steps to qualify for this funding:

  • First, log in to your teacher account on DonorsChoose.org (if you don’t have one, any public school teacher can sign up at www.donorschoose.org/teacher).

Once you’re logged in,

  • submit one or more project requests for economics, financial literacy, or entrepreneurship related materials to support your students (calculators, currency and math games, and books on stocks, bonds, and mutual funds are a few examples). Each project should include up to $600 in materials.

     

Make sure to submit your request as soon as possible. For best chance of funding, projects should be submitted before May 1st.

 

Then what happens?

Within a week of project approval, if your project meets the above criteria, you will see a Walton Family Foundation logo on your project page. This means it has qualified for this match offer and now has a great chance of being fully funded by the other donors that visit our site. (Visit our Help Center to learn how Double Your Impact offers work.)
