JA Our Region® helps students explore how regional differences shape job opportunities, resource use, trade, and consumer choices. It shows students how their choices can contribute to their local and regional economies.

Following participation in the learning experience, students will be able to:

-- Determine why different regions have different jobs.
-- Explain the choices that influence what is bought and sold in a regional economy.
-- Recognize how people use resources and work with each other to produce goods and services in a region.

JA Our Region is recommended for fourth-grade students. The learning experience offers flexible implementation options to meet the needs of students and teachers in a variety of use cases. It includes five 45-minute sessions, with additional extended learning activities and optional digital assets offered throughout.

JA Learning Experiences support national and state standards in reading, mathematics, social studies, and work and career readiness. See below for more information on alignment with national and state standards.
