Workshop Description

Teaching Economics Using Primary Sources: CEE conference session

Students need the opportunity to engage with information that has not been entirely “pre-processed” by the instructor. This use of primary sources prepares students to use economic thinking in the real world. In this session, we provide a list of economics lesson plans that include primary sources, and tips for how to use primary sources in the classroom.
