When designing an economics class, sometimes the best approach is to start in reverse. In this episode, University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor Sam Allgood discusses the power of "backward design." It's a technique that encourages educators to first think about what they want students to master by the end of a course before developing individual lesson plans. Allgood also discusses with St. Louis Fed Economic Education Officer Scott Wolla the value of having a growth mindset in the classroom and how AI can be used to create individualized learning content.
