Phase 2: Follow-on Instruction and Classroom Application
Phase Two of TIP is participation in seven on-line modules on instructional topics introduced at the residential workshop. The purpose of the on-line modules is to help faculty members in economics use interactive teaching strategies in a course they are teaching. They will receive mentoring and advice from faculty experts in economics to complete this work.
As part of this phase, they will review instructional materials, complete assessments, prepare learning exercises for their own courses, teach using their newly created materials, and complete an assessment designed to help them improve the new materials and their use. Participants will also be in communication with participant teammates and with program experts who introduced the interactive strategy at the workshop.
Those economic instructors who complete Phase 2 of the project will be awarded a Certificate of Achievement from the AEA Committee on Economic Education.
