Asserting that “elementary teachers are going to become increasingly involved with economic concepts, and that economic education at the elementary level is at an important developmental state,” Professor Ramsett explains how economics can be included in the elementary school curriculum without taking other subject matter out, and suggests approaches to the training of elementary teachers. He describes some innovative techniques being used at North Dakota's New School of Behavioral Studies, illustrates methods for motivating pupils, shows how economic concepts can be related to other subjects (such as arithmetic), and calls for cooperation between educators and liberal arts faculties in preparing the elementary teacher. © 1972 Taylor & Francis.
