Boise State Economics and Financial Education Summer Institute

The Idaho Council on Economic Education and the Boise State College of Business and Economics would like to present a four day summer institute for high school teachers of economics, business and related areas. The institute will be held on August 1st – 4th, 2011 at the University of Idaho McCall Campus next to the beautiful Payette Lake. Thirty five teachers from across the state will be selected from an application process. The selected teachers will earn 2 professional development credits from Boise State University upon successful completion of all course work.

The University of Idaho maintains a field campus in McCall, Idaho.  The campus is located within the boundaries of Ponderosa State Park on Payette Lake and provides a very cost effective setting for educational projects such as this summer institute.  The Idaho Council on Economic Education and Boise State used the campus last summer as the setting for an economic education workshop for elementary and middle school teachers.  Feedback from last year’s participating teachers, sponsors and facilitators were all very positive.
