Jones, Earl; And Others
The report gives the background on the association of these states in an international education effort directed at Central American nations. The basic objectives of the project are: 1) to develop school-to-school projects in the United States and abroad involving 2 to 3 year exchange of teachers, pupils, curriculum materials, and ideas for improvement; 2) to collect and make available materials and resources; 3) to coordinate activities in international education; 4) to develop liaison between national ministries of education and individual schools; 5) to inject international education into the thinking of those planning teacher education programs; 6) to work with local citizen groups in special projects; 7) to promote improvement in modern foreign language instruction; 8) to integrate the international aspect into state developed curriculum materials; 9) to develop readiness tests; 10) to involve college and university personnel; and, 11) to develop and plan educational television programs. Each individual state's projects are presented and evaluated. The report closes with four basic recommendations for the future. SO 000 036 is a related document. (CWB)
