Summative

You will assume the role of Dr. Jennings, director of financial operations in Nalukai School District. Your assignment will be written from Dr. Jennings’ perspective.  

Congratulations are rolling in for Dr. Jennings! She recently completed her doctoral studies in educational leadership at the University of Phoenix. Her first job post-doctorate is as director of financial operations for the Nalukai School District. The first task Dr. Jennings must approach is to bring an overview of economic theory to the financial operations department of the school district so all members in the department can share a common knowledge base related to their work.  

Dr. Jennings found a YouTubeTM video that is meant to be an overview of economic theory for beginners. She has decided to create a basic table that summarizes what her staff will be learning. The table will serve as a summary of various economic theories and how they might be applied in the Nalukai School District. 

Watch “Economic Schools of Thought: Crash Course Economics #14.” Take notes on the various theorists and theories as well as the years of research conducted and/or published. Additionally, you will need to be able to summarize each relevant theory. 

Select 4 economic theories and create a chart or graphic that summarizes the following information for each selected theory:

• Name and origin 
• Theorist and original publication date
• Synopsis 
• Relevance to school funding 

Write a 175- to 350-word synopsis for each theory to accompany your chart or graphic
