Had a great time interviewing John List for the Teach Economics podcast. We talked field experiments, curiosity-driven teaching, and how economics connects to everyday life.

Had a great time at #CTREE2025 hanging out with dedicated, creative econ educators. Loved sharing ideas and presenting on the Literacy-Targeted approach to teaching economics. Big thanks to everyone who made it such a fun and inspiring few days! #TeachingEcon #EconEd
Thanks, I appreciate it, and thanks for using @stlouisfed.bsky.social resources.
Donโt know how often he pops in here but I want to thank @scwolla.bsky.social and the St. Louis Fed for all the great stuff they have there for AP Micro. Teaching Micro for the first time ever in the Fall and they have just a ton of good stuff for both Micro and Macro. Great job to those folks.
Most students take just one econ course. A Literacy-Targeted approach meets their needsโfocusing on fewer concepts they can actually use.
The best part? It doesnโt hurt econ majors.
That makes it Pareto improving: better for most, worse for none.

The Literacy-Targeted approach emphasizes mastering core economic concepts rather than exposing students to a wide range of theories and techniques they are unlikely to use. As such, LT instruction ensures that students can apply economic reasoning in real-world contexts.

An adorable love letter to every economist's best friend, FRED.
This is a beautiful jobs-day love letter to FRED, without which #EconSky (and, especially, #NumbersDay) would not be possible. From @jeannasmialek.bsky.social:

Hi Sam, the key here is that the Fed has lowered the reserve requirement to zero, so mathematically the money multiplier is no longer definable.

Important work for teaching macroeconomics.
This is an excellent resource for anyone teaching macro! Most principles and intermediate textbooks still teach monetary policy implementation the way it was conducted before 2008. In my intermediate macro course at WashU I ditch the textbook when it comes to MonPol and use Scott's materials
