The Appalshop School Initiative is a joint research project between eastern Kentucky teachers using the Foxfire instructional approach and a media arts and education center. Teachers use Appalshop's documentaries about central Appalachia as part of an educational strategy to challenge students to interpret their own environment, culture, and experiences. (SV)
