In the classroom

A clear role for the educator.

  1. Choose & prepare

    Match the experience to an objective and your students. Preview the content, check access, and introduce the ideas students will use.

  2. Students decide

    Let students weigh tradeoffs and explain choices. Guide access and discussion without replacing their decisions with a prescribed answer.

  3. Review & discuss

    Use student actions, explanations, and classroom conversation to examine the reasoning. Teachers retain responsibility for assessment.

classroom needs.

One teacher. Or a whole institution.

For individual teachers

A demo inquiry starts a conversation; it does not book a meeting.

Questions institutions ask

Practical answers.

Does BOW replace our curriculum?

BOW experiences give students situations in which to use financial and economic ideas. Teachers decide how they fit alongside instruction and discussion; no automatic curriculum replacement or gradebook integration is promised.

What is available today?

Teachers can open Decision Challenges teacher access directly and review the current catalog. Economics Live instructor-led and facilitated arrangements can be discussed with BOW; independent careers and Living Leagues are still in development.

Is the District 26 work a district-wide rollout?

No. The October 19, 2026 presentation led to interest and initial implementation work with educators. BOW is not claiming district endorsement, a district-wide deployment, paid adoption, or demonstrated learning gains.

What does it cost?

Founding Access commitments have no scheduled expiration within their agreed scope. Institutional licensing, additional access, and facilitated programs need their own discussion of scope and terms. This website does not change existing complimentary commitments.

How is student reasoning used?

In Decision Challenges, teachers review recorded actions and student explanations. The teacher evaluates the evidence; a game outcome does not establish mastery. Written explanations are read and judged by the educator.
