About IES:
The IES curriculum teaches basic economic concepts within the theme of international trade. While the program in its entirety is rather extensive and won't be covered in this particular training, the 13 individual lessons can be used independent of the program to help students understand concepts such as balance of payments, comparative advantage, opportunity costs and standard of living. The lessons utilize an experienced-based learning model as the foundation for the instructional process. During the training, teachers will participate in the experienced-based learning process just as their students will in the classroom.

•
