# Economics > [!info] For teachers delivering Economics as a subject; the resources are free for anyone to use. Some Scottish schools offer **Economics** in its own right. This page gathers the most useful material for teaching it; for the full set of resources, see the **[[2 - Resources|Resources page]]**. > [!tip] Mapped to the SQA course > For resources organised **directly against the Scottish economics specification**, the **[Economic Futures Hub](https://hub.economicfutures.ac.uk/)** (Fraser of Allander Institute) is the best starting point — its units follow the National 5 / Higher course, so you can go straight to the topic you're teaching. We don't duplicate that here; the links below complement it. ## Core teaching resources - **[Economic Futures Hub](https://hub.economicfutures.ac.uk/)** — free resources mapped to the Scottish economics course, organised by unit ([Markets](https://hub.economicfutures.ac.uk/unit-1-economics-of-the-market) · [UK economy](https://hub.economicfutures.ac.uk/unit-2-uk-economic-activity) · [Global economy](https://hub.economicfutures.ac.uk/unit-3-global-economic-activity)), plus [data skills](https://hub.economicfutures.ac.uk/data-for-applied-economists). - **[Economics Observatory](https://www.economicsobservatory.com)** — clear, current explainers that connect the syllabus to economics in the news. - **[CORE Econ — The Economy](https://www.core-econ.org/)** — a free, modern, problem-led economics text; good background and extension reading. - **[Bank of England — education](https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/education/education-resources)** — free materials on money, inflation and interest rates. ## SES & STE materials The **[[Introduction to SES Resources|SES Resources archive]]** holds talks, slides and explainers from SES and STE events, organised by topic and subject — much of it maps directly onto the syllabus. A few that fit common units: - Markets & the history of ideas → [[Adam Smith]] · [[Wealth of Nations at 250]] · [[What is Wealth in 2026|What is Wealth in 2026?]] - Inflation & prices → [[What is Happening with Inflation|What's happening with inflation]] - Fiscal policy, growth & inequality → [[Cost of Living, Fiscal Responses and the Constitution|Cost of living & fiscal responses]] · [[Poverty and Widening Inequality in Scotland|Poverty & inequality in Scotland]] · [[Fair Work and Productivity|Fair work & productivity]] ## Bringing economics into other subjects Teaching economics doesn't have to stay in the economics classroom. The other subject pages show where economic ideas already sit in **Geography, History, Modern Studies, Business, Maths, Politics, Psychology and Sociology** — useful if you collaborate across departments, or want familiar cross-curricular examples. → [[1 - Teaching and Learning Economics Across the Scottish Curriculum|Economics across the curriculum]] > [!question]+ Teach Economics? > Got a resource to share, an activity that works, or something you'd like us to add?
