Interactive, standards-based instruction in economic reasoning is the hallmark of FTE-style economic education. In Economics Online for Teachers, FTE has adapted interactive methodology to the virtual classroom. Using asynchronous class interaction and participation, practice problems with one-on-one feedback from nationally acclaimed instructors, the national voluntary content standards in economics, and the resources of the Internet, EOFT promises to increase your confidence in teaching the fundamentals and to renew your enthusiasm for introducing students to the power of economic reasoning to explain the world around them.
