The goal of the project is to provide a sound basis for the study of culture and an academically sound basis for both multicultural and technology education. This guide continues to be under development and units will continue to be added. When the writing is completed, we will add printer-friendly versions. In addition to this online education guide, the Louisiana Voices Folklife in Education Project offers professional development workshops and institutes for Louisiana teachers and librarians.
Workshops are available to school districts or individual schools.
