YEAR PUBLISHED: 1970
NOTE: 37 p.
ABSTRACT: This paper describes the work of the Center for
International Programs and Comparative Studies in
elementary and secondary education. The Center is charged
with the responsibility for strengthening opportunities and
resources for the study of "non-Western" culture in the
schools, colleges, and universities of New York state, and
with promoting opportunities for educational exchange.
Objectives of international education instruction are to
make cultural diversity appreciated, understood and
accepted; to contribute to self understanding; and to
broaden aesthetic and humanistic sensibilities. Information
is included on the Center's funding, rationale for the
programs, and inservice education programs. A variety of
inservice programs encourage curriculum development;
introduce projects for those who teach subject content
which infuse cultural data, insights, music, art, and the
humanities; sponsor research programs; include
scholar-teacher programs; reinforce efforts with a pilot
project in the production of reading and audiovisual
materials; and present brief discussions on incorporating
the study of "non-Western" cultures into existing
curricula, developing suggestive rather than prescriptive
curriculum guide; *International-Education; *Non-Western
