Priority goes to projects with a strong underserved outreach component.
To participate, teachers, administrators or parents must register their names and addresses with the program via a form available on the Folgers Web site. They are then sent information on how their school can receive curriculum material and a music education survey to be completed by the school. Each registered school will receive rhythm instructions, a world beat music CD, a book telling a musician s story, lessons and background materials pertaining to the CD and an instructional guide for teachers. There is no deadline for program registration. Specifically, USJF supports programs that take advantage of new technology to bring Japanese and American teachers and students together to learn about each other s countries and languages.
