American Gateways: Immigration and Migration in the United States

Project Homepage:

Community School District One on New York City's Lower East Side and Districts Four and Five in Harlem are establishing a consortium of teachers, staff developers, curriculum specialists, community leaders, software developers, and university faculty who will restructure the curriculum around the theme of immigration and migration in the United States. The American Gateways project will engage students in challenging study that meets national goals and New York's Curriculum Framework for shool improvement. An electronic web, and a web of community members and resources, will be used to draw together ethnically diverse populations, reducing the separation of groups, and increasing the realizations that people are far more the same than different and that they are all working to reacch similar goals. A total of 29 consortium partners will participate.
