The National Center will also construct innovative strategies for actively involving publics other than students and teachers in economic education programs. This program, being developed for the State of California with the cooperation of the Economic Literacy Council of California, will serve as a model for eventual inclusion in the elementary curricula throughout the country. Thus, with the completion of the California Project, The National Center will be on dead center toward the accomplishment of its major goal — the inclusion of economics in elementary classrooms of America.
