Over the Summer we had the pleasure of attending a workshop at the Council for Economic Education. The workshop was excellent. It was filled with easy to follow ideas & lessons for teaching Economics to a variety of age groups. The resources were well written and best of all FREE. They are located in Manhattan near public transportation, provided breakfast & a boxed lunch. If you have the time and interest, their workshops are definitely worthwhile.
