The Indiana Council for Economic Education (ICEE) held it's annual Econ Camp for high school teachers of economics on October 15-16 at beautiful Camp Tecumseh near Brookston, Indiana. Econ Camp teachers enjoyed an engaging experience where they learned about new initiatives in economic education, obtained resources, listened to experts in the field, and participated in activities developed for classroom implementation.
The event kicked off on Tuesday night with a welcoming dinner followed by a panel discussion on Project and Problem Based Economics. The evening ended with s’mores and discussions of economics around a campfire. The program continued bright and early on Wednesday beginning with Professor Phil VanFossen who presented a preview of the new Focus: High school Economics curriculum. Wednesday also offered breakout sessions facilitated by ICEE staff and additional guest speakers including Dr. Harlan Day, who presented Exploring Connections with Indiana Academic Standards, Common Core and the C3 Framework, Amanda Exmeyer, who presented Teaching with Technology, and Purdue Agricultural Economists, Dr. Michael Gunderson, who presented Drivers of Change in Food and Agriculture.
