In the Great Recession of 2007-2010, Americans watched their
retirement savings erode and the value of their homes decline while
the unemployment rate increased and GDP sank. New demands emerged
for unprecedented government intervention into the economy. While
these changes have a dramatic impact on society at large, they also
have serious implications for the content and teaching of
economics. Teaching Economics in a Time of Unprecedented Change is
a one-stop collection that helps pre- and in-service social studies
teachers to foster an understanding of classic content as well as
recent economic developments. Part I offers clear and teachable
overviews of the nature of today's complex economic crisis and the
corollary changes in teaching economics that flow from revising and
updating long-held economic assumptions. Part II provides both
detailed best practices for teaching economics in the social
studies classroom and frameworks for teaching economics within
different contexts including personal finance, entrepreneurship,
and history. Part III concludes with effective strategies for
teaching at the elementary and secondary school levels based on
current research on economic education. From advice on what every
economics teacher should know, to tips for best education
practices, to investigations into what research tells us about
teaching economics, this collection provides a wealth of contextual
background and teaching ideas for today's economics and social
studies educators. Additional information and resources can be
found at the authors' website neweconteaching.com.
