Bibliography of Multicultural Resources for Educators
What began as a local project to break down barriers of prejudice and bias is destined to have global effects. More importantly this project values today's adolescents as learners, leaders and peacemakers. Some lessons have eternal impact on a student's mind...consider the Town-to-Town C.A.R.E.-a-VAN project to be one of them.

| Eye of the Storm. (1970/ 27 minutes/color/16mm) Social Studies School Service. In 1970, Jane Elliott, a third grade teacher in a small Iowa town, divided her class into two groups for a lesson in discrimination--one group being superior to the other. While only a classroom "experiment," the experience had a profound and lasting effect on the students. Issues of prejudice, victims and victimizers, as well as human behavior, are central to this video documentary. |
