Forefront in the Classroom
Do you want to keep your high school students in the forefront of economic policy discussions?
Motivate your students’ learning with current event discussion
Here are study questions from a new policy magazine. The questions are based on state education standards and can be used as a teaching tool to spark discussion about:
- consumer finance
- factors that inhibit or spur economic growth
- how the U.S. government provides public services, regulates economic activity and promotes economic growth and stability.
