Economics II: Macroeconomics - Summer 2025

Macro-economics will be the main focus of this class, but micro and macroeconomics co-exist and compliment one another and there will be some blending of topics within this course. This online course will incorporate elements from the Annenberg Media program: Economics U$A: 21st Century Edition. We will also be looking at many resources and videos from around the Web while introducing you to methods that will help you develop your own classroom applications. This course will explore economic history, theory, and practice through case studies and interviews with Nobel-prize winning and major economists. This course will provide a solid foundation for teaching the concepts covered in high school economics courses. In addition to defining economic concepts and outlining modern economic theory, the programs review the national standards for economics education and provide effective lesson plans and classroom strategies. These online USBE CANVAS courses have been designed for active educators who are working on fulfilling the requirements for specific social studies endorsements. While the courses are not completely self-paced, they are asynchronous. Coursework unlocks weekly, so that the participants engage in the course material as a cohort, one week at a time. Educators can work on the course material when convenient within each week of the course. This is a 3-credit course in collaboration with Southern Utah University (SUU). Once enrolled in the Canvas course, students will receive further instructions and a CRN for registering through SUU for credit. SUU requires a $69 recording fee for this course. Upon completion of the course, grades will be available on an SUU transcript. PLEASE NOTE: You may only register for two of these endorsement courses at a time.
