The report explains how the federal Ethnic Heritage |
|
Studies Program was created, gives an overview of the |
|
1974 program, and makes recommendations for future |
|
development of the program. Summaries of the 1974 |
|
projects, bibliographies of replicable materials produced |
|
by the projects, and ethnic and regional indexes are |
|
included. The overview discusses development and |
|
dissemination of curriculum materials, training |
|
provisions for faculty and students in higher education, |
|
cooperation with organizations having special interest in |
|
ethnic groups, and use of project results. The assessment |
|
task force determined that single-year grants do not |
|
allow adequate time for curriculum material development, |
|
dissemination programs must be permanent and |
|
comprehensive, goals for teacher training should be |
|
better defined, and community ethnic group leaders should |
|
be involved in the training. Projects that most fully |
|
used community and local ethnic resources in materials |
|
development and training seem to be the most successful. |
|
The 39 individual project summaries give information on |
|
recipient of grant, name of project, ethnic focus, |
|
curriculum materials development, dissemination |
|
activities, training, ethnic involvement, use of outcomes |
|
and impact, and field testing. Ethnic groups included |
|
Mexicans, Alaska Natives, Afro-Americans, Jews, Asians, |
|
Slavs, Central Appalachians, Greek Americans, Italian |
|
Americans, and Russians. Many programs were multiethnic. |
