Teacher Education
The Bradley Center offers
credit and non-credit workshops throughout the year.
Look for scheduled workshops at this site. We will
also respond to your suggested workshop topics and
work with you to develop a workshop at a particular
school.
Instructional Materials
We can provide materials to
incorporate economics into an existing curriculum,
loan resource materials to teachers and
administrators to help in meeting state standards,
and work with individual teachers or groups of
teachers in developing a curriculum around a
particular theme or topic.
Classroom Programs and
Assistance
Bradley’s chapter of
Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) works with the
Center to deliver economic education programs
directly to area children. Long-standing
collaborative programs include an annual poster
contest, regional economics fair, essay contest,
M&M (Math and Money) program, and an after-school
program for at-risk students. Additionally, SIFE
presents important economic concepts to area children
through its humorous and popular classroom theatre
productions. SIFE and other campus organizations
offer technical assistance to students and teachers
in such programs as the Stock Market Game.
Events
Annual events and workshops
sponsored or coordinated by the Center will be posted
at this site as well as described in Center
newsletters and mailings. We especially encourage
student participation in such annual events as the
Poster Contest for grades K-8 and the Regional
Economics Fair for Grades 1-12. Classroom assistance
in preparing for these events is available.
