November was a great reminder that economics is everywhere. From exploring the economics of disasters and careers in architecture to examining holiday trade-offs with Guess & Company and turkey talk with Arkansas Farm Bureau, teachers across the state continued to see how economic principles shape the world around us. Together, these experiences are helping educators bring everyday economics to life for students across Arkansas.
