Teacher Workshops

Mini-Economy Institute

The Mini-Economy is an experienced-based program used to teach entrepreneurship, economics and government. Students immerse themselves in a classroom economy: applying for jobs, running businesses, paying taxes, making investments. Your students will master essential economics principles while getting cross-curricular exposure to math, reading and writing.  On top of invaluable teamwork and negotiation skills, students learn their role in the world marketplace.

Participants will receive a number of engaging, classroom-ready lessons and activities for 3rd grade through middle school.  The institute also includes performance assessments for 3rd grade. All materials were created and tested by experienced mini-economy teachers.

Participants who attend the entire institute and successfully pass a test will be acknowledged as VCEE Certified Economic Educator: Mini-Economy.
