"The Capstone: Exemplary Lessons for High School
Students materials are
excellent. The are knowledge-based, interactive and contain a wide variety of
types of lessons and activities. Economics contains very abstract concepts at
times, and the Council for Economic Education is doing an outstanding job in
creating practical materials to be used in the classroom for teachers with
varied economic backgrounds. These activities bring the concepts alive and
make class sessions fun for students and teachers alike!
I appreciate the format of this type of training, which
allows teachers to work at their own pace whenever it is
convenient for them. Seeing the videos was extremely helpful.
I actually have copies of both the teacher's and student
activities guides that I received when attending a Council for Economic Education
workshop facilitated by Dr. Gary Stone of Winthrop University.
The books have been sitting on my shelf, as I did not have (or make)
the time to pick out activities. Thumbing through the book on your own can be
rather overwhelming! What I have learned from this training is that most
lessons take minimal preparation and do not take up the entire class period.
I am much more confident that I can quickly prepare and use many of these
activities to supplement my existing economics lessons."
