We hope that you will find this issue to be informative and inspiring. Happy reading!"

Visit News and Events to find out the latest teacher training sessions and where future regional events will be held.

Visit the Students section for information on your role as economic advisor and how the IES program works. Scoremasters must sign in to the IES web application to submit their team's import goals, issue statement, and pre-vote selections. (Your username and password will be provided to you by your teacher.)

View instructional video clips that depict "Quick Hitter" activities found throughout the IES curriculum. These Quick Hitters help students understand lesson content and IES simulation rules. Use of an experience-based learning model is one of the keys to student learning in the IES, and the purpose of the video is to help you with classroom implementation.

Watch Jody Hoff, developer of the IES program, work with students at Burton High School in San Francisco, CA. The Quick Hitters from Lessons 1, 4, 5, 6, and 9 are included in the video, along with introductions into Trade Alliances (Lesson 7) and the Signature Session (Lesson 9).
