7th
Annual ASET Conference
On Saturday Feb. 9, 2008, ASET (Arizona Society of Economics Teachers)
brought a successful conference to Mesa Community College where 150
teachers, college students, and community members came together for a
true professional development opportunity.
Speakers Dwight Lee and David Schmidtz were engaging and informative on
a wide range of economic topics including "Milton Friedman as a freedom
fighter", and "Corporations and farmers on welfare". John Morton led us
through a lesson from his latest workbook, "Teaching the Ethical
Foundations of Economics". Each participant left the Conference with
this outstanding collection of ready-to-use Economic lessons.
Though it will be difficult, we are all ready planning to top this year's conference with
plans for our 2009 event. Our biggest worry is the need for more space
to meet! Please check back for updates on our planning for the 8th Annual
ASET Conference in February 2009.
We thank our vendors and all supporters of this important event. |
