SUMMARY:CEE: Keynes v Hayek: Clash of Ideas that Shaped the World
DESCRIPTION:This webinar explores the influential economic debate between John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Hayek\, situating their ideas within the historical context of the Great Depression\, World War II\, and modern economic policy challenges. Through storytelling\, visuals\, and clear comparisons\, participants will examine how each economist understood business cycles\, the role of government\, and the function of markets—and why their ideas continue to shape policy debates today. Teachers will be introduced to the Keynesian and Austrian schools of thought\, with accessible explanations suitable for high school classrooms. The session emphasizes connections to current events\, such as stimulus spending\, inflation\, and debates over government intervention. Throughout the webinar\, participants will engage with classroom-ready activities\, including discussion prompts\, debate frameworks\, inquiry questions\, short videos\, and project ideas that encourage critical thinking and student voice.

Why Teachers Should Attend. Build content confidence: Gain a clear\, engaging understanding of two foundational economic perspectives and how to teach them accurately and accessibly. Leave with classroom-ready tools: Walk away with discussion questions\, activities\, and lesson ideas you can use immediately. Enhance student engagement: Learn strategies for helping students connect historical economic ideas to today’s policy debates and real-world issues. \n\nTeachers will be able to:\n\nExplain and compare the core ideas of the Keynesian and Austrian schools of economic thought\, including their views on government intervention\, markets\, and economic cycles\, using historical examples from the Great Depression and World War II.\nApply Keynes’s and Hayek’s ideas to modern policy debates (e.g.\, stimulus spending\, inflation\, government regulation) in ways that help students connect economic theory to current events.

SUMMARY:CEE: Paying the Price: Preparing Students Beyond Tuition
DESCRIPTION:What does college really cost — and what can educators do about it? In this webinar\, sociologist and Paying the Price author Sara Goldrick-Rab breaks down the new economics of college and what they mean for your students. Tuition is just the beginning. Housing\, food\, transportation\, childcare\, and lost wages add up fast — and most students and families never see it coming. The result? Millions of students who start college never finish\, not because they lack ability or ambition\, but because they can’t afford to stay. You’ll learn: The new economics of college — how rising costs\, stagnant wages\, and shrinking public investment have fundamentally changed who can afford to go and who can afford to stay The real price of college — why the sticker price and even the “net price” dramatically underestimate what students actually pay Affording college beyond the FAFSA — practical\, actionable strategies educators can share with students to identify funding\, benefits\, and resources they didn’t know existed Making work work — how to help students navigate employment during college without derailing their education Why the fight isn’t over — why policy change is essential\, and how educators can be part of the movement to make college genuinely affordable for all students Whether you teach economics\, personal finance\, or any subject where your students are headed to college\, this webinar will give you tools\, language\, and confidence to have honest\, productive conversations about money — and to help your students make informed decisions about their futures.

SUMMARY:CEE: Red\, Yellow\, Green: Measuring Poverty
DESCRIPTION:This College Stoplight introduces instructors to the Poverty Stoplight\, a self-assessment tool created by Fundación Paraguaya that reframes poverty as multidimensional and self-diagnosed rather than income-only and externally imposed. We show how the tool’s six dimensions\, 50 indicators\, and red/yellow/green scale can anchor college-level lessons in development economics\, behavioral economics\, and personal finance. Participants will see the tool in action\, work through sample indicators\, and learn how to turn the underlying methodology into class activities—self-assessment exercises\, data analysis\, dimension-mapping\, and policy debate—that connect abstract poverty metrics to students’ own reasoning and to authentic field data. Activities covered include: a live walkthrough of the visual survey; a hands-on dimension-mapping exercise; comparing the Stoplight with income-based and Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) approaches; and a discussion guide for connecting the tool to capabilities theory\, agency\, and financial wellbeing. Why attend: Bring an authentic\, globally used real-world tool into your classroom to make multidimensional poverty concrete and measurable. Leave with ready-to-use activities and a discussion guide that connect the tool to development and behavioral economics theory. Learn how a self-assessment methodology builds student agency and links economics to personal financial wellbeing.

SUMMARY:CEE: Building Custom Games & Simulations with AI
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on webinar shows economics and personal-finance teachers how to use “vibe coding”—describing what you want in plain English and letting AI write the code—to build their own interactive classroom simulations in minutes\, with no programming background required. We’ll start by demystifying what vibe coding is\, how the AI tools work\, and where their limits are. Then we move straight into live building\, where you’ll watch and follow along as we generate\, test\, and refine working simulations on the spot. Topics and activities include: turning an economics standard into a clear\, structured prompt; building a supply-and-demand market with sliders and a live equilibrium point; creating a compound-interest “power of starting early” visualizer; designing a budgeting decision game or stock-market simulator; and using follow-up prompts to fix errors and improve the output. We’ll also cover a quick prompt-planning template and an accuracy and responsible-use checklist so your simulations are classroom-ready and trustworthy. Why attend: You’ll leave with a ready-to-use prompt library and three to five finished simulations you can use in class the next day. You’ll learn a repeatable workflow to turn any concept or standard into a custom interactive activity—no coding\, no expensive software. You’ll gain practical strategies for reviewing AI output for accuracy\, accessibility\, and student-data safety.

SUMMARY:CEE: Economics Alive! Immersive Simulations & Role-Based Learning for High School Economics
DESCRIPTION:Economics Alive! explores immersive\, role-based instruction as a tool for teaching high school economics. We often hear that students disengage from economics because it feels abstract and distant from their lives — but economics simulations change that. When a student has to negotiate a trade\, defend a policy\, or make decisions as a central bank governor\, the content becomes immediate and personal. Educators will walk through five complete lesson activities and receive a full Teacher Toolkit of ready-to-use materials. The session closes with a practical planning framework participants can use to design their own immersive lessons. Walk Away with Ready-to-Use Lessons — No starting from scratch. Teachers leave with a complete toolkit of five fully-built\, standards-aligned lesson plans — simulations\, role plays\, and stakeholder summits — they can drop into their classroom the very next day. Re-Engage Students Who’ve Tuned Out — Traditional economics instruction loses students fast. This workshop shows teachers how to flip the script by putting students inside the content — as traders\, policymakers\, and negotiators — so the concepts stick because students lived them\, not just read them. Reach Every Learner in the Room — From high-performing students who need a challenge to students with IEPs who need a clear entry point\, every lesson comes with built-in differentiation strategies so no student gets left on the sidelines of the simulation.
