Current Projects/Programs
We're working on the following projects:
Moot Court – The High School Appellate Program and Competition
Moot Court is an appellate argument program and competition that we've created with help from the Constitutional Rights Foundation (CRF). Using a specially-developed excerpt from a recent and important U.S. Supreme Court case, students write briefs and argue them before a three-judge panel of volunteer judges and attorneys.Econogame Competition
A fast-paced market-economy game for 25 to 30 people. Schools and groups provide the people and place, we provide the game, food, T-shirts and prizes.Track the President
A place to find the campaign promises of the winning candidate. During his term in office, we will track to see how he does at keeping his promises.Wow, That's a Lot of Money!
Hands-on training for civics/government and economics teachers. Participants play the "Penny Game" (a federal budget overview) and "Taxation With Representation" (a mock Congress) during the one-day training. Participants receive and learn to use The Concord Coalition's Social Security and federal budget booklets. The program is aligned with California and other state curriculum standards. It also includes nine literacy (thinking/writing instruction) activities.Please email or phone us at (925) 947-4356 to find out more.
