Economics Professor Elizabeth Jensen participated in a Teaching Innovations Program Workshop (TIP), June 3-5, in Washington, D.C. TIP is a program run by the American Economic Committee on Economic Education and funded by the National Science Foundation; this is the first year of a five-year program. Participants spent three days learning about and discussing interactive learning techniques such as classroom experiments and cooperative learning, which will be introduced into next year's classes.
TIP seeks to improve undergraduate education in economics by offering instructors an opportunity to expand their teaching skills and participate in the scholarship of teaching and learning.
Help us provide an accessible education, offer innovative resources and programs, and foster intellectual exploration.
