520 _aTeachers of economics in schools and colleges throughout the world will want to have this guide close to hand. It provides ideas, materials and suggested resources for the teaching of economics in both the 13-16 and 16-18 age groups. It aims to give practical guidance in a realistic context, and will prove complementary to the existing books which tend to concentrate on broader issues. Almost all the forty-seven contributors are practising economics teachers who base their suggestions on their experience in the classroom. Busy teachers wanting to teach a major topic will find a range of ideas on how to communicate the more difficult aspects, some simulations or other stimulus material, and a comprehensive section on the resources available for teaching that topic. This, the latest Handbook produced in conjunction with the London University Institute of Education, provides a survey of developments in the teaching of economics, and enables all those who are concerned with this field to consider a variety of innovatory approaches, and try out methods which have been found to be effective. David J. Whitehead taught economics in school for several years before taking up his present position as Lecturer in Education at the London University Institute of Education. He is the editor of Curriculum Development in Economics, also published by Heinemann Educational Books.
