Projects cover a range of topics in gender equity, including issues of sexual harassment, career education, and educational issues for girls of color. The WEEA Program has funded more than 700 projects over the last 20 years. The Secondary School Task Force of the American Studies Association is undertaking a national survey of American Studies programs and courses at the secondary school level. It eventually hopes to develop a data bank of curriculum and program development in American Studies courses or programs in its schools. The Fellowships bring high-level professionals to the United States and send their U.S. counterparts abroad.
Fellows play an active role in designing their own agendas.
Spouses are invited to accompany the Fellows, and separate appointments are made for them. The Multi Nation Program provides 10 to 12 weeks of travel and inquiry during March, April, and May of each year. The number of Fellows selected for this program each year has ranged between 20 and 28. The program assists teachers in curriculum and lesson planning, the use of media in teaching, the evaluation of student work, and the recording and reporting of student work. The Alliance is prepared to assist educators in designing collaboratives, drafting proposals, identifying potential funders, and implementing and evaluating programs.
