Knowledge And Attitudes Of Georgia High School Economics Teachers, Gregory J. Brock
Knowledge And Attitudes Of Georgia High School Economics Teachers, Gregory J. Brock
Gregory J. Brock
Using a unique large sample survey, the knowledge and attitudes of Georgia high school economics teachers towards economics is examined for the first time. Teachers are found to have a good knowledge of economics with perhaps more training needed in supply/demand analysis and monetary economics. A minority of teachers don't like economics and even the math that is needed to teach it. Teachers who recently took a university course or at least attended an economics education workshop are far more likely to like and be knowledgeable about economics.

Developing A Training Program For Instructional Assistants Within A Large-Scale Emporium-Based Environment: A Nine-Year Evolution Towards Systematic Change, Charles B. Hodges, Jennifer M. Brill
Charles B. Hodges
The Virginia Tech Math Emporium is a large-scale, computer-based learning lab supporting courses designed following the emporium model (Twigg, 2003). In this article the authors discuss challenges and solutions faced between the years 1997 and 2006 involved with hiring, training, and evaluating the staff of instructional assistants working in the Math Emporium. The discussion is grounded in literature from the fields of training and peer tutoring. Directions for future methods of training instructional assistants are suggested.
