To help minority students thrive in both the culture of their communities and the culture of their schools, educators should help the students by identifying the behaviors that lead to success. They must be positively oriented toward the minority culture as well as the dominant culture of the school. The Hazel G. Creekmore Memorial Curriculum Collection at the Fondren Library on the Rice University campus was established in 1993. The collection provides teachers, education students and Rice faculty with professional resources on curriculum, teaching and children. A coordinating committee of educators and librarians selects the topics and acquisitions for each year.
Acquisitions focus on selected major topics.
