Be a part of the JET SET! JET’s Symposium on Economics Teaching is a different kind of conference put on by a different kind of journal. Through this joint effort between W. W. Norton and the Journal of Economics Teaching, learning outcomes and teaching innovations take center stage. Each session is designed with a set of learning outcomes in mind so that you can immediately apply them to your classroom.
At this one-of-a-kind conference, economics educators of all levels will have an opportunity to present, learn, and network with others in the economics education community and with a leading publisher in economics education. Through workshops, sessions, and informal conversations, we believe all educators will bring something truly valuable back to their departments.
As an additional opportunity for professional development, JET’s editors will lead a practical, results-oriented workshop immediately following the conference for those who want to learn what it takes to get their classroom innovations ready for publication in JET.
Note about hotel accommodations: We have negotiated a group rate of 129 USD per night with Le Méridien New Orleans. A link to make reservations will be provided to you in the registration confirmation email.
