In addition to offering teacher workshops in economics, the Brown Foundations have underwritten on-line resources for teacher reference and use.
ANALYSIS ONLINE
Analysis Online, a service of The Communications Institute, is dedicated to providing objective, non-partisan analysis from many of the nation's leading academic and research institutions with a focus on economics, science, and engineering. With partial start-up funding from the Thomas R. Brown Foundations, this website is a great resource for teachers who need newsclippings or analysis on the hot topics of the day.

ECONOMICS UNIVERSITY
The foundation has also underwritten the creation of Economics University, a series of on-line economics lessons for classroom use. These lessons are ideal for use with students using a computer projector or in a computer lab. There are also quizes and ready-made essay tests, and make a great refresher course for teachers. They were created jointly by Steven Reff, High School AP Economics teacher of Tucson, and Dick Brunelle, High School AP Economics teacher of Boston.
New lessons are always being developed and added. A sampling of lessons plans already posted include the following:
