Please join Brett Burkey, the Director of Education at the Florida Council on Economic Education, for an evening of new lessons. All participants will have access to the resources presented and observe the modeling of activities to make classroom implementation a breeze. Three lessons will be presented. The first one on Behavioral Finance, the second one on the determinants of supply and demand, and the third one on capital goods and decision making. We will explore the factors that shape our financial decisions and how human nature can be leveraged to a retailers advantage. Answers to questions about the fluctuation of gas prices and the factors near and far that influence that market. Finally, we’ll land in the middle of the debate over energy generation as we transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources.

•          Financial Attitudes and Behaviors

•          What Determines Gas Prices?

•          So You Want to Build a Nuclear Power Plant?
