Is this publication a textbook?
No, the majority of our publications are teacher supplements that contain lesson plans that are meant to be integrated into a given curriculum. Exceptions include Capstone Exemplary Lessons in Economics, and Financial Fitness for Life publications. Our Advanced Placement Economics books have a teacher guide and a student guide, but are supplemental activities meant to aide students in the preparation for the AP exam, not a standalone economics course.
