“The understanding fiscal responsibility curriculum has not only increased the knowledge of students and teachers about the budget deficit and the national debt but also increased their motivation and ability to get involved with these issues.” –Anand R. Marri, Associate Professor of Social Studies and Education
TC’s Provost’s Investment Fund seeded Anand Marri’s idea for a comprehensive social studies and mathematics curriculum about the fiscal challenges that face the nation. The curriculum project subsequently received a three-year, $2.45 million grant from the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.
Today, “Understanding Fiscal responsibility : A Curriculum for Teaching about the Federal Budget, National Debt and Budget Deficit,” teaches a half-million students in grades 7-12 in all 50 states — and in 11 other countries — about public policies leading to budget deficits and the national debt. More than 50 university-level teacher educators are using the curriculum with their pre-service teaching students.
