The booklets focus on U.S. History from different ethnic points of view. Listening tapes are available as an alternative to the booklets. Historical and cultural information in the booklets is made personal through dialogue and exchange with students and adults from different ethnic groups. Research also indicates greater interest and motivation in learning, particularly by non achieving students, bilingual and ESL students, and minority students. No special staffing or facilities are required.
Training is typically over two days and a follow-up session is encouraged.
Also, at least one classroom set of the Ethnic Perspective Series should be purchased. Awareness materials are available at no cost. Follow-up consultation and monitoring are available to adopters. A 20-minute preview video explaining the program is available for the cost of postage. A trainer for trainers is also available.
