Archeology in the Classroom: A Case Study From Arizona. Archeological Assistance Program Technical Brief No. 4.
Rogge, A. E.; Bell, Patti
The federal archeological community views public outreach programs as necessary for the continued preservation of archeological resources. This technical brief outlines ways to have archeology programs in the public schools. The efforts of the Arizona Archeological Council (AAC) to place archeological concepts and values within the context of the classroom by organizing an Archaeology for the Schools Committee in 1985 are recounted. Specifically, this brief describes the goals and motivations of the AAC's schools committee; summarizes what they learned about the "ethnography" of the Arizona school system; and highlights a strategy to get teachers to not teach archeology as much as they teach with archeology. A list of additional readings and curriculum materials is included. (DB)
