“The Economics of the Marketplace” workshop provides teacher
training that focuses on third graders’ understanding of the four
types of productive resources, the interdependence of producers
and consumers, how voluntary exchanges allows us to “do what we
do best and trade for the rest,” and how all these concepts are
brought to life everyday in the marketplace. We will
explore different options for a grade level or
school’s plan to implement a customizable “Marketplace”
event featuring the students producing goods and services to sell
themselves.
Audience: Teachers, Grade 3
Lunch, materials and substitute reimbursement
provided.
