Looking for a way to make economic concepts more interactive without sacrificing valuable instructional time? This session will explore the use of Micro-Simulations, or short role-playing activities (15-20 minutes) designed to immerse students in economic content. These simulations provide a dynamic, hands-on learning experience that enhances understanding of key economic concepts while maintaining the quick pace of the curriculum. Participants will actively engage in two Micro-Simulations that they can take back to their own classrooms, ready to implement. In addition, they will discover myriad other examples for maximizing student engagement, aligned to the curricula of both AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics.
