Powell Center for Economic Literacy - 2008 National AP Economics Teacher Conference
The Powell Center and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond hosts the annual AP Economics teachers conference. Keynotes include Tim Harford of the “Undercover Economist” and George Mason University’s Russell Roberts, host of the outstanding podcast EconTalk. I’m really hoping my new principal will support my attending this conference, all the way from Zurich!
