OnRamps Economics
Nineteen school districts across Texas are currently participating in the pilot version of the OnRamps Economics Course launched in fall 2023. The course will begin its full run in fall 2024 and be offered to thousands of students across the Lone Star State.
Students will engage in flipped learning to drive understanding of their own mastery of core economics principles. They will collaborate with peers in class discussions and problem-solving exercises to apply and extend their knowledge of economics concepts. By the end of the course, students will possess deeper comprehension of a highly complex and evolving world tied to entrepreneurship, business, and daily life.
