Run Concord's educational exercises in your class or suggest it to teachers at your students' schools. Concord's programming is designed around a classroom schedule, involves group work, and encourages discussion.
How It Helps
Today's students carry the most powerful voice in regards to America's fiscal future because it is their future. The Concord Coalition's classroom presentations, exercises, and activities are meant to make the complexities of the federal budget understandable and accessible for students of all ages.
Put it on the agenda. Let your school's educators and administrators know that The Concord Coalition has educational programs available. In business, civics, economics, or other classes, look for parts of the curriculum that could be complemented by Concord's materials. You might even consider scheduling a lecture during school assembly.
Review our resources. Consider the format of the class and think about the best tool for the job. Pick the one that works best for the size and length of your class.
