Crossroads: Where Economics, History, and Music Meet - 9/3 - (Nashville, TN)

In this workshop, supply and demand meets historical sight and sound!  Crossroads is an immersive, interdisciplinary workshop for high school economics and U.S. history teachers who want to spark deeper connections through the power of music.

You’ll get dynamic resources to help you teach topics like labor unions, Civil Rights, budgeting, unemployment, economic inequality and many more using Library of Congress primary sources and fresh, ready-to-teach lessons developed by the Georgia Council on Economic Education (GCEE), the Federal Reserve Bank and Teachrock.org.

At select locations, feature presenters from the Fed and TeachRock will take the stage to share innovative, arts-based teaching strategies from their nationally recognized materials. Their partnership is central to the Crossroads experience, and all participants will walk away with curated resources tailored to economics and U.S. history classrooms.

Teachers will leave with new classroom-ready lessons, teaching tools, and ideas for making their content sing—literally.

Audience:  Teachers, Grades 9 – 12

Materials, lunch, and substitute reimbursement provided.
