Economics Resources Tailored for Canadian Classrooms
From trusted Canadian authors to localized support, we’re here to help you teach your course with confidence.
Teach Economics Through a Canadian Lens
Teaching economics is most effective when students can connect concepts to real-world situations they recognize. That’s why Pearson’s Canadian content—grounded in Canadian data, policy, and current events—is essential to further student understanding and achievement. Materials written with a local lens help students engage more deeply, think critically about issues that affect their communities, and apply what they learn in meaningful ways.

Authored by Canada’s Leading Economics Educators
Having Canadian authors who understand the country’s unique economic challenges and structures makes a difference. Educators and students benefit from the work of trusted economists and educators, such as Chris Ragan, Avi Cohen, Michael Parkin, Robin Bade, and Trevor Tombe (plus many others*)—authors who bring both academic expertise and a real-world Canadian context to their writing. Their work ensures that the examples, case studies, exercises, and policy discussions in the classroom are relevant, current, and aligned with the Canadian curriculum.

Building Economic Literacy with a Canadian Context
Pearson's resources also feature real-time data from Statistics Canada, enabling students to analyze current economic trends and policies directly relevant to their lives. Features like "Economics in the News" and "At Issue" sections in textbooks encourage learners to apply economic theories to contemporary Canadian issues, enhancing critical thinking and real-world application. By aligning course materials with Canada's economic context, educators can provide students with a more meaningful and impactful learning experience.
