SUMMARY:CEE: Rockonomics 101: History\, Economics\, Rock and Roll
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores how music can serve as a powerful teaching tool for understanding U.S. economics and history between the 1880s and the 1960s. Songs of this period not only entertained but also reflected and shaped the nation’s economic and social realities. By treating music as a primary source\, educators can bring historical events and economic concepts to life in ways that resonate with students. 1. Teachers using student activities will engage them to broader historical and economic themes and strategies for classroom integration. 2. By linking music to lessons on industrialization\, migration\, labor\, war\, cultural changes and civil rights\, teachers can foster deeper engagement\, empathy\, and interdisciplinary learning. \nTeachers will be able to: \n\n\nDemonstrate how music can be used as a primary source to explore economic and historical themes. \n\n\nHighlight key genres\, artists\, and songs that connect to major moments in history and economics. \n\n\nShare classroom-ready strategies for using music to make history more relatable\, accessible\, and engaging. \n\n\nEncourage interdisciplinary thinking by linking economics\, history\, culture\, and critical analysis through music.

SUMMARY:CEE: Power Up Your Economics & Personal Finance Instruction with Design Thinking!
DESCRIPTION:Design thinking skills are creative\, innovative problem-solving skills for the classroom\, the workplace\, and real life—and they’re exactly the kind of skills employers are seeking in new hires for today’s Innovation & Gig Economy. Even better\, these entrepreneurial mindset process skills double as highly effective instructional strategies for teaching economics and personal finance concepts and reasoning skills while simultaneously developing workplace readiness. Join us for a fun\, interactive webinar where we’ll break down the 5-step design thinking process by watching videos of teachers implementing design thinking in their classrooms\, then unpack multiple design thinking examples geared toward middle and high school students. Teachers will brainstorm additional economics and personal finance problems that students care about—problems that design thinking helps solve—and identify where design thinking can be seamlessly integrated into their curricula to boost engagement and retention. Practical instructional strategies and free\, classroom-ready resources will be shared to help successfully bring this next-level pedagogy to economics and personal finance classrooms. Real-world assessment strategies\, including simple yet highly motivating Design Challenge friendly competitions\, are included. Participants will also learn about the Online Entrepreneurship Institute for teachers and the aligned U.S. Entrepreneurship Certification Examination for high school students. \n\n\n\nTeachers will be able to: \n\nExplain how the 5-step design thinking process functions as an effective instructional strategy for teaching economics and personal finance while developing students’ innovative\, problem-solving\, and workplace readiness skills for the Innovation & Gig Economy.\nIdentify opportunities to integrate design thinking into existing economics and personal finance curricula\, including the use of simple Design Challenges as engaging\, real-world assessment tools.

SUMMARY:CEE: The Hidden Costs of Tariffs: What They Mean for Your Wallet
DESCRIPTION:Tariffs often function like an invisible tax on consumers. This session explores how tariffs reduce purchasing power by raising the cost of essential goods and discouraging discretionary spending. In early 2026\, economists have observed that broad\, universal tariffs tend to affect consumers in two key ways: they take more money out of individuals’ pockets for necessities and make people less likely to spend on nonessential items. \nParticipants will examine how changes in spending ability impact individuals and families—and why these effects are not felt equally. The session will cover what tariffs are\, the three main types of tariffs\, and their real-world impact on households. Classroom-ready examples\, a student worksheet\, and guided discussion questions will be provided to support deeper\, more global thinking about trade and consumer behavior. \n\n\n\n\nTeachers will be able to: \n\n\nHelp students understand how tariffs shape prices\, trade\, and consumer spending \n\n\nExplore why the economic impact of tariffs varies across families and communities

SUMMARY:CEE: Gifting Sense: Lifelong Financial Literacy Begins With Simple Consumer Decisions
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, you will experience firsthand how and why thinking before buying is an easy-to-teach\, powerful\, and sticky life skill that can be introduced in a single classroom session. You’ll see precisely how to guide students through the habits of pausing\, gathering information\, and reflecting—before spending their money or anyone else’s. Why attend? Because early success with thinking before buying primes students to seek out the more sophisticated financial knowledge they’ll need later in life\, when it becomes relevant and valuable. This is how mindful spending builds lasting financial literacy. Once students realize they can gather and use even a little financial know-how to shape their future\, they naturally want more! \n\n\nTeachers will be able to: \n\n\n\n\n\nTeach mindful consumer decision-making using an award-winning\, permissionless mindful spending tool\, the DIMS – DOES IT MAKE SENSE?® SCORE Calculator.\nConnect interactive classroom activities to the CEE National Standards for Personal Finance.\nSupport SEL and financial literacy simultaneously.

SUMMARY:CEE: Economics for Everyone: Concepts over Calculations from the University of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:The University of Chicago’s Economics for Everyone (E4E) initiative emphasizes understanding key economic concepts over cost curves and calculations. Central to our approach is the concept of optimization and marginal thinking. These foundational principles provide deeper insights into human behavior in everyday economic activities. Participants will also explore our library of additional resources available on the UChicago E4E Educator Hub. Our resources provide thoughtful and challenging support for all levels of economics. Our lesson plans and videos span a wide range of topics from introductory principles to behavioral economics and beyond. Participants will leave with: 1. An economic lens to help students interpret economic actions of individuals\, businesses and governments. 2. New ideas on economic topics to explore with your students beyond consumers\, producers and markets. 3. Information on how economists use research to improve outcomes for schools\, charities and other organizations. \n\nTeachers will be able to: \n\nIntroduce the Economics for Everyone approach and review our available resources.\nIntroduce the fundamental role Optimization plays in influencing individual choices due to scarce resources.\nDiscuss the process of thinking on the margin and how its driven by individuals’ efforts to optimize.
