The California Association of School Economics Teachers (CASET) would like to invite you to attend the 15th Annual Economics in Education Conference in Yorba Linda, CA. CASET is an organization of educators promoting the effective teaching of economic principles in the K-12th grades. A highlight each year is our one-day, state-wide conference for economics teachers. The conference features sessions tailored to different grade levels with emphasis on activity-based economic curriculum, teaching strategies, cooperative learning tips, and demonstrations of new materials.
Enjoy a day of fun as we present resources and information to help you improve your students' understanding of economics.
