Professional Development Workshop
Local teachers help present at the Teaching Economics Through Children’s Literature (K-2) workshop at the St. Louis Fed's Louisville Branch. Teachers earned professional development credit while learning new lessons to teach economic concepts to elementary students using popular children’s books. Here, the teachers wear paper chef hats and make cookies out of Play-Doh as they learn the lesson which accompanies the book Mr. Cookie Baker, which teaches about resources: capital, human and natural.
