A Recent Testimonial

"...you shed light on major issues and offered very concrete explanations which a few people have already stated will aid in instruction. I, as an example, copied the chart spanning from 1790-1990 for my AP students to use as an ongoing reference as we study US History."

-- Heather Verdi, Social Studies Department Chairperson, New Britain High School

Workshops will be custom tailored to your school or schools' needs. The Center with Connecticut Council on Economic Education support offers workshops in areas such as teaching economics in Mathematics or teaching economics in American or World History. These economic concepts will not only teach students reasoning and critical thinking skills, but enhance the core subject matter itself.

We also can provide current topics workshops on such issues as Globalization, Economic Development, Poverty and Wealth, etc. Financial literacy, entrepreneurship and career forecasts and prospects might also of interest to you and your teachers.

If you have an idea or a need for workshops please contact us and we will try to accommodate your request(s).

We can also provide discounts on almost any and all economic and financial literacy materials for your district from the AP economics level to elementary. Please see the National Council on Economic Education website http://www.ncee.net/ for examples, but we are, of course, not limited to those materials.

Contact William Alpert to schedule a workshop.
