Not In Our Town is an excellent catalyst for discussion about racial
tolerance and diversity. The Not In Our Town Video and Viewing Guide provide a dynamic
resource that helps teachers and event organizers facilitate dialogue
abou these timely and challenging issues.
The
comprehensive 16-page Viewing Guide was developed by teachers
and is designed to support subjects including: civic responsibility,
the bill of rights, diversity, multi-cultural issues, prejudice
reduction, and conflict resolution. Accepted for Grade 11 Social
Studies in California, it is appropriate for History/Social Studies,
Civics, U.S. History, Literature and English classes. The Guide
provides thoughtful lessons plans and innovative activities designed
to help students strengthen their analytical, interpersonal, study,
writing, speaking and listening skills. It also includes a bibliography
and resource list.
The Not In Our Town curriculum was promoted by the National
Association of School Principals and School Administrators, the
National Education Association, and the American Federation of
Teachers. Not In Our Town is currently used by Facing History
and Ourselves, the STAR Program, the Educational Development Center
and hundreds of other religious and community-based groups across
the nation.
