Description
How do we help students make sense of rising prices, shrinking paychecks, and tough financial choices? In this session, we’ll dive into practical strategies for teaching inflation, purchasing power, and the cost of living in ways that connect directly to students’ real-world experiences. Explore how economic crises shape personal decisions and societal outcomes, and gain tools to guide students in analyzing current events, evaluating trade-offs, and understanding the long-term impact of financial realities. Bring relevance and empathy into your econ or social studies classroom by anchoring instruction in the economic challenges students see and feel every day.
