The IES Southern California program has an amazing history - and this was only our second year in operation! Last year's inaugural teacher training and regional student competition were a huge success - and in this 2nd annual, we grew in numbers, sponsors, and exciting spin-offs that both expanded and deepened the program.

  

 

CIBEAR - our host sponsor here at USC, awarded scholarships for six of the 23 IES teachers to attend the USC Asia Conference in Seoul.

The California International Studies Project, CISP - our state sponsor, awarded funds to CALIS from No Child Left Behind to expand teacher professional development, to pliot an online press conference, and to purchase additional support materials.

  

The California Trade Education Council, CTEC - our lead sponsor, expanded the amount and number of teacher stipends, offered travel scholarships to teachers in outlying areas, and provided teachers with over 1700 Player's Guides student booklets so that all of their economics classes can be involved in the engaging curriculum and challenging world trade simulation.

The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco - our partnering sponsor, expanded our teacher recruitment efforts and support of program expansion.

The Idaho Council on Economic Education - IES creator and organizer, administered a comprehensive evaluation with pre/post-testing and program assessment.

Wells Fargo - our lead contributor, sustained support and kept us going!
