News From the Center
On June 10-13, The Math Behind Economics, hosted by Berry College Charter School of Education and Human Science and the Georgia Council for Economic Education, was offered as the 2008 Berry College Residential Summer Institute for AP and IB Economics Teachers. This advanced program offered teachers a more in-depth understanding of mathematics through a discussion of instructional strategies and provided opportunities for connecting math to economics.
On March 5th the Center, in conjunction with GCEE, hosted a luncheon for curriculum directors in northwest Georgia to discuss the needs of the economics and social studies teachers in their school districts related to implementing the Georgia Performance Standards. The purpose of the luncheon was to enable the Center to develop a better understanding of the wants and needs of NW GA area economics educators. Dr. Glen Blankenship, Program Director for the Council, provided an update on the workshps, institutes, and new materials for K-12 economics teachers in our service area.
