Build Your IB Economics Program Your Way
A strong Economics program is built slowly, methodically, and with intention.
Using your school's strengths as a starting point and IB Economics as the culminating academic experience for your students, we can build a customized Professional Development plan to serve the needs of your secondary school Economics program.
Whether you are looking to reimagine how you teach Economics from 6th through 12th grade or looking for innovative best-practices for your IB Economics teachers, we can work together to serve your school's specific needs--now and in the future.
We begin with your goals, your ideas, your vision of a comprehensive and inclusive Economics curriculum, and then together build solutions that will be effective and possible in your school setting.
Built around the Five Essential Skills of IB Economics we can design a comprehensive secondary school curriculum that empowers students early in their academic life to understand the complexities of economic behaviors while making it engaging and age appropriate.
Together we have an opportunity to build the economic literacy of your students thoughtfully, intentionally, and reflective of your local realities.
