FAQs
Who is the series for?
Although we like to say it’s for everybody, we did have a few particular audiences in mind. For instance, small groups wanting to go through a unique series; or families with middle school kids and older; then middle or high school students studying economics for traditional schools or homeschools; and, finally, any adult who wants to understand what economics is all about (in a fun and engaging way, of course).
Can I get High School Credit for the series?
Yes. Compass Classrooom’s Economics for Everybody is designed to be the base of a one-semester high school economics class for  homeschool students. If this Scope and Sequence is followed, it will be good for one half credit in economics.
The course can be used in two ways: by itself as a lighter study to introduce basic economics concepts (9th/10th graders), or used together with another economics textbook as a more in-depth study for students with worldview training (10th/11th/12th graders). If you choose to do the latter we recommend Basic Economics Fourth Edition by Carson and Cleveland.
Here is a link to the sample Study Guide which provides a complete scope and sequence for teaching the class.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons 1-5 and 12 are under 20 minutes; Lessons 6-11 range from 20 to 27 minutes. As the lessons dig deeper into economic applications they get longer in order to cover the material.
What is included in the Study Guide?
The 266p Study Guide includes each lesson in a convenient paragraph format with additional material not included in the videos:
- Multiple choice, short answer, and discussion questions for each lesson;
- Scope & Sequence included in the Study Guide for easy curriculum planning;
- Full answer key included in the book for convenient self-guided study;
- For Further Reading sections with chapter listings for the 4th Edition of our recommended Basic Economics textbook;
- Digital study guides have a linked Table of Contents for easy navigation.
