11/01-- Vinton Elementary second-grader Brooke Richardson shows her suitcase to teacher Callie Marksbary. The students were planning an imaginary trip, which illustrated the economic concept of opportunity cost. Each student had to leave an item behind so they could fit their favorite item of choice in their suitcase. Marksbary is folding basic economics into her class lessons as part of a state-supported program based at Purdue. The Indiana Council for Economics Education oversees 13 economics education centers, which in turn, offer workshops and programming for teachers interested in economics.
