“Inquiry” is a form of teaching that helps students answer pressing social questions by doing structured research activities. This session is based on a new inquiry project by the national Council for Economic Education to help teachers help students use economic thought to come to their own conclusions about today’s issues. Based on new lessons on Econedlink.org.

Teachers will:

  • Leave with lesson plans about teaching inquiry-based economics that they can use right away.
  • Participate in evidence-based economic inquiry during the session.
