Economics is the science of making tough choices, and understanding the basics of the discipline is vital for young people to become informed and dynamic citizens.


However, there are numerous challenges for middle and high school teachers to make economics interesting for their students.

To help, Radford University’s Department of Economics is offering its inaugural Economics Teachers Conference Aug. 16-17 at Kyle Hall, home of the university’s College of Business and Economics.

The two-day session is designed for secondary school educators who teach economics in Southwest Virginia schools. Conference registration is free.

The conference will give teachers an opportunity to meet with peers and explore key topics in economic theory that are essential for students to learn before they enter college. Participants also will discuss resources and teaching approaches with Radford University economists.

Topics to be covered include:

• Scarcity and opportunity cost

• Decision-making at the margin

• Adam Smith and the market economy

• Economic growth and entrepreneurship

• American economic history

• The great recession

• The government and economics

• Globalization and trade

• Ethics in the market system

Conference participants may receive credit for 10 contact hours, subject to approval by their respective school administrators.

One night’s lodging, mileage expenses up to $100 and conference meals will be provided. Selected conference materials will be provided free of charge.

To register or learn more, contact Tom Duncan at tduncan13@radford.edu.
