FAQs
Is Econiful professional development right for me?
Our target audience is new and experienced high school economic educators.
Anyone can register for and attend our PD events, but if you are a current classroom teacher serving students in Grades 6-13+ you should become an Econiful member.
Econiful members are eligible for giveaways and can access our on-demand modules. Creating a membership is fast and free.
What should I expect?
Educators will leave with ready-to-use resources designed for Grade 6+ classrooms. All Econiful PD events will begin and end on time. Attendees at synchronous Econiful PD events will have opportunities to interact with the presenter(s) and fellow educators in chat-based activities, breakout rooms, or other methods.
Visit our on-demand page to learn more about what to expect from that PD format.
Are Econiful’s PD events free?
Yes! You can access all our PD events at no charge. Of course, you incur an opportunity cost, but we’re confident the program will be better than your next best alternative.
Where do your PD events take place?
All Econiful PD events take place online. We offer synchronous PD via Zoom and self-paced PD modules via Nearpod.
Do you record your virtual PD events?
No. We believe Zoom-based professional development is at its best when educators can engage with the presenter, the content, and one another.
How do giveaways work?
Giveaways are limited to U.S.-based Econiful members. For a typical 60-minute program, members must attend at least 45 minutes to be eligible for the giveaway. Members can win program-related raffles no more than three times per semester.
Will I receive a certificate of professional development when I participate in an Econiful event?
Yes. Everyone who attends a typical Econiful PD event (60 or 75-minute session) and misses no more than 15 minutes of the program will receive a certificate of professional development.
