While many of us have been doing this for a while, there's plenty of those new to the subject as well -- and of course the little reminder never hurts. The Reserve Bank of Australia places a higher priority on supporting schools in delivering quality teaching and learning to high school students. As such they have a brilliant education team, with a tonne of resources ranging from video explainers, to print-outs for classrooms and presentations, all for streaming or downloading. Here is an introductory link that is built for Years 9 and 10, but easily slots in to the introductory content for Year 11, and even revision content for Year 12!
Has there ever been a more interesting time to teach and learn about the impacts of trade protection? Here's a pretty straight forward and
specific summary of the potential market impacts of the recently announced (and
then paused)
25% tariffs the US President plans to impose on its largest trading partners, and
the responses.
Can students draw a price mechanism (supply and demand) model which shows the impact of implementing (or reducing) tariffs on the imports of a specific good? Can students differentiate between domestic producers that will benefit from such tariffs and those that may be weakened? How might this impact the value of various currencies around the world? These hyper relevant real-world examples are what make our
syllabus so
engaging for students.
There are many advantages for teachers who are members.
