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. The webinar also highlights how this content aligns with Minnesota high school social studies standards and demonstrates multiple ways it can be integrated into economics\, history\, and civics courses. 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.
