For several years, I served as one of Discovery Education’s fourteen Program Champions nationwide. I helped Discovery Education and their corporate partners with all educational tools, materials, and presentations related to economics and financial literacy (other Program Champions focused on other subject areas). When the Program Champions initiative ended a few years ago, it wasn’t goodbye! Ever since, Discovery Education and I have kept a close working relationship. We’ve presented together at conferences such as the Jump$tart National Educator Conference and the MassCUE Fall Conference. We’ve also worked on various articles. When Discovery Education contacted me to work on a new article related to the pandemic and its effect on business, I was thrilled!
I spoke with their journalist regarding my use of Discovery Education’s materials on economics, the supply chain, and the impact on business. I was able to give many examples of student work related to supply chain disruption, lead times, and shrinkflation as it pertains to entrepreneurship specifically. Read about us below!
