Regenerative Economics for Secondary Schools
An online, open access textbook to support students and teachers who want to shift the economics education paradigm.
www.regenerativeeconomics.earth
This is an emergent project to develop an open-access, online textbook with activities to support teaching of regenerative economics in secondary schools. The resource is being developed 2024-2025 and a prototype is ready for anyone to try out.
We're trying to design each main content section to be as modular as possible so that teachers can pick up individual sections as and when they can in their mainstream economics courses. At the same time, we are aiming for a coherent set of materials for a two-year course. Flexible use is a priority.
Each main content section is meant for a 40-50 minute class period, especially if students pre-read the text (takes about 8-10 minutes), for example in a flipped classroom scenario. Each section has a similar 3-part structure: a 'hook', theory, application/short activity to reinforce learning. In addition there are multiple choice questions to check for understanding (requested by student reviewers) and digital flashcards with terminology.
All the materials are student-facing with the hope that interested students without a teacher/mentor could use the materials on their own or with a group. If you have a translator extension in your browser it should be possible to translate the site.
The "Taking Action" sections support place- and project-based learning, investigating lived experience, service, creativity, collaboration. You can see some suggestions for these types of activities in Subtopic 1.5.
We have used Google Sites for the initial iteration with a unique URL, but this may not be the final platform because of its formatting limitations and accessibility problems in some countries.
There is a feedback button on each page, so please feel free to share your thoughts that way, or by contacting me: jennifer@regenerativeeconomics.earth.

I've been interested in regenerative practices for many years. Much of my career has been focused on regenerative local practices and food systems as well as indigenous ways of being, knowing and doing. I recently returned to school to get my masters in regenerative practices and economics and am interested in connecting with others in this group to learn a lot more about other events and practices in other communities and what they are doing to reframe their economics.
