SC 250: Our Econ & Civics Story

South Carolina’s Economic and Civic Story will help 6th–12th grade Social Studies educators explore South Carolina’s history and economy. Through hands-on simulations, primary sources, and decision-making activities, participants will gain classroom-ready strategies for examining how people, institutions, and communities make choices amid economic and civic circumstances. The program will connect themes such as trade, taxation, labor, scarcity, incentives, rights and responsibilities, and civic participation to South Carolina’s past, and to the economic and civic questions students encounter today.
Thanks to FTE, teachers who attend will receive a $100 stipend!
SC teachers will also receive 6 hours of recertification, no-cost resources, and lunch, all at no cost. We look forward to partnering with FTE on this workshop!

This program is sponsored (in part) by the South Carolina American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission. SC250 was established by the SC Legislature to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary Era and highlight the state’s significant role in securing America’s freedom by engaging and inspiring South Carolinians and visitors through heritage tourism, rural economic impact initiatives, and educational programs.
