Differences between Fiscal and Monetary Policy, with Resources to Help

A fundamental challenge for teachers and students is identifying whether a decision taken by leaders is a fiscal choice or monetary policy choice. This webinar, led by the St. Louis Fed Economic Education team, gives teachers strategies on how to best describe the differences and then use primary documents to allow students to identify real-world examples of policy actions. The webinar is free, and high school teachers will receive one hour of professional development credit. Questions?
