International Economic SummitThe Summit program is a hands-on, activity-based learning program for high schools that teaches the significance and the basic concepts of globalization, international economics and what it takes to make highly interdependent nations competitive in today’s dynamic economic environment.
The program is widely implemented in the state of Idaho, where it originated, reaching 5,000 high school students annually, primarily through their state required course in economics. Boise State University also provides a college level International Economic Summit program through various university courses. The San Francisco Federal Reserve has trained and provided materials to more than 500 high school teachers throughout all of the states of the 12th District. The state Councils on Economic Education in Tennessee, Massachusetts, Mississippi and Illinois have also used the program. The Summit is being implemented in China every summer as well. The International Economic Summit Institute at Boise State University operates within the Idaho Council on Economic Education, a 501c3, non profit organization that has existed since 1971.
