Lesson Plans
C3 created over 75 lesson plans for NCEE's EconEdLink, most containing a custom-built student interactive. The lesson plans were developed to address economics learning standards and concepts, and were preceded by a survey of existing EconEdLink materials to determine which standards and concepts were under-represented for the various grade bands.
