Americans All® will provide printed and
electronic curriculum resources that
will enable elementary, middle and high school students to explore the history of
all Americans. Increased diversity within the student population now requires more
inclusive instructional materials.
See The ABC’s of Americans All®, About Americans All®: Business and Implementation Plan and Americans All®: Why It Matters and How It Works.
Americans All®
makes classroom instruction relevant to students’ lives
by using the saga of the peopling of America and by teaching history from multiple
perspectives. Students will learn about the diverse population groups that have
helped build our nation and come to appreciate the social, economic and cultural value
created by that diversity. In addition, Americans All® accommodates students’
different interests and learning styles by using text, audio, visual and other mediums
to impart learning.
The program can enhance student performance and reduce racial and ethnic tensions by
fostering higher levels of human awareness as a result of better appreciation for self,
greater sensitivity to others and increased skills for functioning in diverse cultural
groups and settings. Moreover, the program develops reading, writing, communication, and
critical– and creative–thinking skills needed for success in today’s
workplace and the increasingly interdependent world.
Students will also benefit from an Americans All® student site that will help
them learn how to study and answer questions on history and civics. The site will
include audio and video instructional materials and will have a powerful search engine
to assist students in identifying other relevant education resources. In addition,
it will provide links to related research and teaching tools. The Peopling of America,
the national operating organization for Americans All®, will monitor the site for
inappropriate content.
