AUDIENCE:  Great for any Kansas high school teacher teaching any economics, government, history and any current events or public issues!  Help students gain the knowledge to become civically engaged!
STIPEND:  $35 stipend for teachers accepted or $70 tuition scholarship
OPTIONAL GRADUATE CREDIT:  One-half WSU grad credit will be offered with some outside assignments.  Attendees may select the $35 stipend or $70 scholarship.  Additional opportunities will be offered for additional half credits but seat time limits to half credit.

WORKSHOP TOPICS:  The issues surrounding the federal budget, national debt, and budget deficit are complex, but not beyond the reach of high school students.
We are offering a training workshop on Understanding Fiscal
Responsibility, a set of lessons which uses essential dilemmas to help
students focus on current fiscal issues such as the national debt,
budget deficit, national security, Social Security, and current national
policy issues.

Add more civic engagement in your high school with this nonpartisan and inquiry-based set of lessons designed to engage students in critical policy dilemmas and include the resources students will need to deepen their understanding of the complex issues the dilemmas raise. The curriculum invites participants from all points of view to ask:

• What do the decisions we make about the federal budget, national debt, and budget deficit say about who we are as a people?
• How should we address our nation’s fiscal challenges now and in the future to assure that our decisions are consistent with our values and traditions?
• Is there a fair and efficient way to fund and maintain the public service we want?
• Is it convincing facts or effective rhetoric that determines what the public thinks about the debt and the deficit?

Join us for this engaging and fast-paced session!
