Thursday, 08 May 2008 |
The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Announces
An International Economic Summit Teacher Professional Development Training
At the California Council on Economic Education Center
California State University San Bernardino, June 19-20, 2008
The International Economic Summit (IES) is a world trade simulation that teaches fundamental economic concepts within the context of international trade. The program challenges high school students to think critically about the costs and benefits of trade while exploring the concept of globalization. IES is a standards-based instructional unit that includes 13 individual lesson plans, providing flexible classroom implementation by easily flowing into an existing course of study or as a stand-alone unit. By utilizing an experience-based learning model, it provides students with a solid foundation in economic fundamentals and incorporates a method for active-learning that is fun as well as challenging. Over the course of the curriculum, students form teams, adopt a country, and take on the role of Economic Advisors. Each team conducts extensive research on “their” country in order to generate a strategic plan to improve living standards. The culminating activity is a six-hour, real time global trade simulation where student teams competitively implement their strategic plans in the simulated global marketplace.
