On behalf of the staff of the Gus A. Stavros Center for Free Enterprise & Economic Education at the University of South Florida, I want to express my appreciation to you for taking time to explore the Center's website. As an outreach program of the USF College of Education, the Stavros Center is committed to providing you with quality products and services in a customer friendly environment.
At the Center, resources from the private and public sectors have created a setting where educators may seek professional growth and renewal in an environment worthy of their high calling--teaching students about opportunity and fulfillment through our economic system.
As you explore the Stavros Center's website, please note that our products and services focus on economic education from an interdisciplinary perspective. Our courses, workshops, and materials present economic concepts and principles integrated with language arts, mathematics, social studies, and other areas of the school curricula. This is a reflection of our belief that the best way to understand economics and the market economy is to view them in their relationship to other subject areas.
I hope that you will find the Stavros Center's website useful in locating resources that will enhance your instructional program. Please feel free to give us a call at (813) 974-2175 if we may assist you in any way.
