Title: A Research and Evaluation Agenda for DEEP and Precollege Economic Education
Abstract: Begun in 1964, the Developmental Economic Education Program (DEEP) has been the primary instrument for involving K-12 schools in economic education. This article presents a research and evaluation agenda to determine the effectiveness of the DEEP effort. Comments on the agenda are offered by two authors who participated in the creation, implementation, and research on DEEP.
