Content Analysis of Textbooks for Black Students, Grades 1-3, a program for teachers of the first- through third-grades, was developed by the Far West Laboratory. The overall objective of the course is to develop teacher's skills in analyzing textbooks in terms of their appropriateness for Black pupils. Data collected during an operational field test revealed that the course is effective in (1) increasing teachers' awareness of the need to analyze textbooks, and (2) bringing about an improvement in their ability to perform the analysis.
