Symposium on Economics Teaching

Please join us in-person in Blacksburg, Virginia August 1-3, 2024, co-hosted with Virginia Tech’s Economics Department.

Here’s what sets JET SET apart:

• Our conference, like our journal, is open to everyone. We are the only conference of its kind to actively foster networking amongst all passionate econ educators, whether they are professors or K-12 teachers.
• Learning outcomes take center stage. Each session is designed with your students’ learning in mind and you’ll leave with practical information you can apply in your classroom immediately.
• We teach you to fish! Ok, not really, but we want to give you the tools to publish your great teaching innovations and increase your impact! JET’s awesome editors will lead a results-oriented workshop for those who want to learn what it takes to get their classroom innovations ready for publication in JET. 
• We’ll have fun! We’ve sprinkled in interesting events throughout the conference, including a fun 5k run on Saturday morning! We’ve even found a way to make the shuttle ride from the airport interesting. Sign up and see for yourself.

Our conference, like our journal, is open to everyone.

We can’t wait to see you at JET SET! Please join us!
