February 19, 2024Engaging Gen Z Students with Economic Lessons Featuring MrBeast (Geerling, Mateer, & Wooten)
February 20, 2024We outline five teaching guides that can be used by economic educators to teach topics as varied as gender pay gaps to government bailouts. Each guide is based on a variety of scenes from the NBC television show Parks and Recreation, which are freely available to educators and students online. Each guide is framed around student-to-student discussion to increase active learning in the classroom.
