      ab: This article presents a report on the impact of the Joint Council on Economic Education's five-year effort to advance the teaching of economic analysis in major school systems throughout the United States. The program, known as Developmental Economic Education Program (DEEP), reached into thirty systems enrolling 4.5 million pupils. DEEP has brought about a working partnership among school systems, universities, regional councils for economic education, and the Joint Council. It has succeeded in engaging professional economists in an effort to advance economics instruction through the education of teachers and the development of textual materials, all for the primary purpose of improving students' knowledge. Measured results of the number of teachers enrolled in economics courses show substantial progress with some form of instruction reaching over 14,000 teachers, about a quarter of the teachers in a typical school system. Sample test results show appreciable gains in teachers' knowledge of the subject.
