ABSTRACT
This article has grown out of the authors' experience developing curriculum materials for teaching decision analysis at the intermediate level, training teachers in decision analysis, teaching decision analysis to middle-school students, and talking with teachers and school system officials about the opportunities and potential pitfalls associated with introducing decision analysis into schools. The article shares our insights regarding a strategy for building decision-skill learning into the school curriculum in ways that will, we think, be accepted by the school system, the teachers, the parents, and the community.
