FLEX Social Studies: Economics
Class experience
US Grade 4 - 7
In this flex class, we will be focusing on Economics as part of the social studies curriculum for students with disabilities. The class will be structured to provide a highly organized and scaffolded learning experience, using visual prompts and opportunities for repetition. Interactions among students will take place through Nearpod and the classroom, and students with disabilities can choose their preferred way of interaction, such as video, drawing, writing, or audio only. The main goal is...
Economics: Students will learn basic concepts of want versus need, as well as who are producers and consumers. Students will also learn about personal finance issues such as budgets.
I am a former special education teacher and created and implemented social studies curriculum for middle school students with disabilities. As a white woman, I actively seek resources from respected anti-racist educators to augment my lessons as well as further my own education. These resources include the Center for Anti-Racist Education (https://antiracistfuture.org/), Education with an Apron (https://laneshatabb.com/), National Education Association (https://www.nea.org/), American Historical Association Remote Teaching Resources (https://www.historians.org/research-and-publications/remote-teaching-resources/teaching-decolonization-resource-collection#:~:text=The%20Teaching%20Decolonization%20Resource%20Collection,be%20found%20in%20educational%20materials.), and EmbraceRace (https://www.embracerace.org/). For resources related to LGBTQIA, I refer to the Trevor Project, Strong Family Alliance, and my own experiences as a parent. For resources related to disabilities, I refer to my own experiences as a disabled person (ADHD), as a parent (neurodivergent), as a daughter (chronic disease, physical disability, hearing loss), and my extensive training and professional work in disability advocacy.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
I will be using carefully curated videos and resources within Nearpod. I will use Nearpod in teacher-directed mode. Students may choose to create a free Nearpod account and have two windows open to participate in student activities or use a second device. Or, students can watch through my shared screen and participate through annotation. Nearpod is an approved third-party educational tool. It is rated as excellent through Common Sense Education. You may see their review here: https://www.commonsense.org/education/app/nearpod. The materials will come from an anti-racist, decolonized perspective when speaking about geography and cultural issues. I may use a pre-test with each unit to identify the level needed for scaffolding the materials. The level of information ranges from first to fourth-grade equivalent and I will provide additional resources if the student is interested in going deeper.
I refer to anti-racist and decolonization resources from Education with An Apron, National Education Association, American Historical Association Remote Teaching Resources, Center for Anti-Racist Education, and EmbraceRace.
