Educators and students are invited to the Federal Reserve Education’s third Teaching Economics in Changing Times event.

This webinar will provide timely information for educators and students on the Federal Reserve’s work in promoting economic stability and conducting monetary policy. It will highlight the steps and roles involved leading up to Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings, including what goes into the decision-making process for voting members.

Key objectives for the October event are to help educators better understand current economic conditions across the country and the process of conducting monetary policy, and how the Federal Reserve goes about achieving its dual mandate. Attendees will receive insight on the collaborative nature of data collection, the various methods of analysis, and how community members contribute to the process.

The program format will include a featured presentation followed by a moderated panel discussion with other subject matter experts during which attendees will be able to submit questions. Panelists will explore regional variations within the process, as well as published materials that inform Fed presidents and the Board of Governors prior to FOMC meetings.

Free curricular resources will also be shared.

Save the date on your calendar by registering today! There is no cost to attend, but advance registration is preferred before October 18, 2022.

A video recording of the program will be available afterward through the national Federal Reserve Education website, FederalReserveEducation.org. You can also find access to free economics and personal finance lessons and activities there, targeted toward pre-kindergarten through college-level.
