AGREEMENT: UNLV's Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER) has partnered with DEO to process registrations for participants in its Micro-credential in Economics for Public School Teachers program. DEO will process registrations for CBER via web, phone, fax, mail, and in person at the DEO Information Desk and deposit revenue in a specified CBER budget account. DEO will and will enroll students in appropriate UNLVGO classes. DEO will retain a $70 per person per program administrative fee for these services. MOU on file. COURSE DESCRIPTION: The UNLV Economics Micro-Credential will provide educators of the Clark County School System with the skills and activities to teach economics in the classroom. The micro-credential will count as continuing education units and upon completion will go on their license. The course is mostly asychronous with online instruction videos, readings, and quizzes. There will be one Saturday morning class near the end of the course where educators will practice the concepts learned and the in-classroom activities. In addition to faculty, we will provide a graduate assistant to help with any questions that arise during the learning experience. In 2017, the Nevada legislature passed SB249 that requires high schools across the state to teach one-half unit of credit of economics in combination with or without American government, which was reduced from one whole unit of credit to one half. To teach economics in the Clark County School District (CCSD), teachers must have completed a minimum standard of coursework as an undergraduate, such as majoring or minoring in economics. If a teacher does not have the required background but would like to teach economics, they must complete 15 course hours of economics through an accredited program such as the UNLV Continuing Education Department. The program is provided by the UNLV Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER) with the generous support of the Engelstad Foundation.
