This interactive session will focus on leveraging case studies to teach economics and personal finance concepts to high school students. We will introduce a dynamic approach to using case studies that mirror real-life financial and economic challenges. Attendees will explore how case studies can engage students in analyzing financial situations, developing decision-making strategies, and understanding economic implications. Participants will leave with actionable strategies and resources to implement case-based learning in their classrooms. Participants will work to analyze 2 sample case studies and use those to identify learning opportunities, and brainstorm strategies for classroom application. Emphasis will be placed on engaging students in critical thinking, using structured problem-solving methods, and facilitating discussions on the connection between personal decisions and broader economic outcomes.
