High School Students Learn the Economic Way of Thinking

Teacher and student participants work together to complete activity.

This summer a record number of high school students participated in TFAS’s high school residential week-long programs through the Foundation for Teaching Economics (FTE). These programs exposed 928 students from 29 countries to the economic way of thinking on domestic and global issues. Throughout their journey, students acquired the skills they will need to become effective leaders.

Through TFAS’s Teacher Programs, educators had the chance to enhance their knowledge further. This past summer, more than 200 teachers of economics, social studies, civics, history and government attended in-person and virtual programs, to learn how to become more effective educators. After completing the program, teachers can confidently return home with fresh lesson plans for their students.
