Content: The key ideas of scarcity, opportunity cost, goals, and trade-offs are essential both in economics and civics. Participants in this session will explore using these concepts to strengthen decision-making and some classroom strategies that can be used in, or adapted for, students from grade four through high school. The webinar will present these concepts and then focus on practical instructional lessons. Greater theoretical depth about these ideas and the connection between economics and civics can be found in Nexus: Connections between Economics and Civics.
