Minimum standards for elementary and secondary schools require that courses of study provide for the following topics: citizenship, human relations education, and multicultural education. It is educationally profitable to view these as three interdependent perspectives which shape a citizen's participation in democratic life. Cultivating these citizens is the special assignment of public education, and fulfilling this obligation is a central professional challenge faced by educators today. This document is intended to provide a range of innovative and practical approaches for implementing this curricular component. It seeks to provide assistance in developing programs which incorporate the content and skills necessary for effective living within the family, school, work place, community, nation, and world. Elementary and secondary instructional activities involving some relationship to citizenship, multicultural, or human relations education are included. An appendix containing lists of resource materials and resource organizations concludes the document. (APG)
