‘Educating For Democracy’ book teaches through budgeting
May 6
Two ASU professors wrote a book about a hands-on program teaching democracy through budgeting decisions.
The book details a model for civic education in which students learn about democracy through the actual practice of it. Instead of listening to lectures about allocating public dollars, students decide how to spend the money themselves on projects to improve their campuses.
The authors, Tara Bartlett, Clinical Assistant Professor at Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation, and Daniel Schugurensky, Director of the Participatory Governance Initiative at ASU, joined us to discuss.
