How did the economic systems we use today evolve? This four-week course explores the early development of economic principles, focusing on the transition from barter to the complex systems of exchange that emerged in the medieval period. Students will understand how these systems were shaped by human trial and error, developing over vast periods of time to meet the growing needs of civilizations. Through this lens, we’ll look at how merchants and states transitioned from inefficient systems to more advanced forms of trade, such as the rise of money, banking, credit, and early market economies. Designed for high school students, this course is also suitable for advanced middle school students interested in gaining a deeper understanding of historical economics. Course Structure: Each week, students will engage in interactive lessons designed to bring these historical concepts to life: Week 1: PowerPoint Lecture on early trade systems, the limitations of bartering, and the rise of standardized coinage. Week 2: Flipped Classroom discussion where students analyze key principles from the previous lecture and create strong responses. Week 3: Exploration of medieval banking and the rise of credit, followed by hands-on practice writing Short Answer Questions (SAQs) on the material. Week 4: Interactive Kahoot quiz to reinforce key ideas, followed by a discussion of how early systems influenced modern economies. By the end of this course, students will understand how economic systems evolved over time, from the basic bartering of goods to more complex market economies, and will have developed the skills to analyze historical economic systems critically.

I have seven years of teaching experience, including two years of teaching economics to 12th-grade students. Throughout my career, I have taught a variety of history and social studies courses at the high school level, as well as online courses for middle and high school students. My experience in teaching economics has given me a strong foundation in breaking down complex economic principles and making them accessible to students of different learning levels.
In both in-person and online settings, I emphasize critical thinking and real-world connections to help students understand the historical development of economic systems. My teaching style is interactive and engaging, incorporating activities like discussions, simulations, and assessments to reinforce key concepts. With a decade of experience working with adolescents, I am committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment that encourages curiosity and intellectual growth.Reseñas
