About This Lesson
Confusion and misinformation about the Fed may make it difficult for high school economics teachers to sort through available resources and decide how and what to present to students. We hope to correct what we perceive to be five of the most common and fundamental misunderstandings that lead to difficulties in teaching about money and the Fed. We also propose methods that high school economics teachers may use to help clarify these concepts in their classrooms.
