VOTE: The Environment

The Thomas R. Brown Foundation seeks to advance the use of economic principles in public and private decision making through strategic partnerships and educational programs. Our program goal is to equip teachers to increase student exposure to fundamental principles of economics in a neutral and nonpartisan way, and to help students develop an appreciation of how economic analysis applies to everyday choices as well as business and policy issues.

Voices On The Economy (VOTE) is a Tucson-based, award-winning program that teaches educators to present diverse perspectives in a balanced and accurate way so that students can make up their own minds about what they believe and find their own voices on the issues.Join us for a free, one-day workshop that will delve into the issue of the Environment, looking at it from the radical, liberal, and conservative perspectives. What are their different policy ideas? (The Green New Deal? Command and control regulation? Private property rights and carbon pricing?) Hands-on exercises will bring the material alive, and we will provide you materials so you can bring these ideas back to your classrooms. No previous knowledge of economics is required. Appropriate for all subject areas and levels of educators from middle school through university. Lunch via Grubhub will be provided. You will earn a certificate for 6.0 hours of professional development.
