Hello I am actively working in this area, being Coordinator of the Assoc for Heterodox Economics.
We have a document on the UG curriculum here
https://www.worldeconomicsassociation.org/newsletterarticles/a-perspective-on-core/
(Click the fourth (big) link)
We also have tried to include A-level teachers in our association and we are an international group with 14,000 in our Facebook Group
'Heterodox Economics'
It says it's a closed group, and we have 5 moderators of whom 2 are in the AHE, see
hetecon.net for our Association and how to join it.
The prices is very low £30 a year or £10 for concessions.
We hold a conf. every year an dnext year it's in Huddersfield July 2017 3 days.
We object to the kind of economics taught in the Schools.
I enclose a document that may be of some help, and please note the following readings which you can recommend to A Level Teachers:

Subject: school economics
Yesterday I was told by a scondary school teacher that there has been a very big increase in the number of secondary students wanting to study Economics - mainly, apparently, in order to get into a Business School. Does anyone know what 'economics' is at secondary level? Presumably senior teachers will have studied Samuelson at university? I wonder what the current school text book is.
