Abstract	Designed to build up concepts presented in the Master Curriculum Guide volume "A Framework for Teaching the Basic Concepts," this collection of teacher guidelines and classroom lessons focuses on how economic concepts and an economic way of thinking can be incorporated into various units in consumer education courses or in courses at the secondary level that contain units on consumer education. Material is divided into four sections using related clusters of economic concepts that are important to consumer economics. Each of the sections provides an overview that serves as teacher background. Section 1, "Decision-Making and the Consumer," contains lessons and strategies on profits, the two-career family, household production, scarcity, choice, and trade-offs. Section 2,"Functioning of a Market," contains materials on marketplace interdependence, market failures and access to information on decision-making, the consumer price index, and price changes. Section 3, "Effects of Government Action on Consumers," looks at consumer protection. Section 4, "The Interrelationships among Government, Business, and Consumer Decisions," contains simulations on monetary control, corporate crisis, and increasing productivity. Appendices list supplementary materials and sources of information. (LP)
