Understanding Fiscal Responsibility
Source: Columbia University - Teacher's College | Type: articles with lessons
As a nonpartisan, research-based and inquiry-driven curriculum, the enclosed lessons do not steer students toward any one conclusion about the federal budget, national debt, or budget deficit. Our goal is to have students understand the issues in all their complexities, be able to clarify their own thinking about these issues, and ultimately, care enough to become involved in debating these and other public policy questions as citizens. This is a series of short articles in blog form with suggestions included for each on how to use in the classroom.
