Economic Forces in American History


FTE
Economic Forces in American History (EFIAH) is a highly acclaimed, cross-curricular program specifically designed to help teachers incorporate economic reasoning into their high school American history courses.

Participants lean interactive teaching strategies that incorporate the actual circumstances of historical periods of study. With EFIAH lesson plans, teachers can help their students engage with subject matter by taking a detailed look at the economic considerations of the historical record - in essence, allowing students to 're-live' history by taking an active role in the choices that individuals had to make during key events - rather than just reading or hearing about it. EFIAH is a "must take" course for any teacher of American history, social studies, government, civics, and economics.

Program Date: October 20, 2012
Time: 8:30 am to 3:30 pm
Location: Nebraska Club, Lincoln
Cost: No Cost for Nebraska Teachers!
Registration: Coming Soon!
