The curriculum for SEED, piloted in 1988 in a 4th grade classroom at Burns Park Elementary School, has been approved by the Ann Arbor School board as a part of the six grade curriculum. The facilitators manual includes a number of Ice Breaker activities and activities designed to increase students' awareness and discussion of issues related to stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. 8-15 districts in Milwaukee are participating in workshops and receiving technical assistance to implement the program. The program is also being replicated in 12 states. Program developers prepare high school students to train practitioners interested in adapting the program for their school or district.
Students work with various organizations including departments of social services.
SEED holds three national workshops each year. All rights reserved. Disclaimer and copyright information.
