One World - Connecting Communities, Cultures, and Classrooms

Free Education Program Fostering Cultural Understanding

One World: Connecting Communities, Cultures, and Classrooms

This free, NEA-endorsed, 10-lesson education program is designed to help 4th-6th graders understand and appreciate diversity. The program -- an interdisciplinary, multi-tiered curriculum for educators, students, and families -- fills a void, giving teachers and parents materials not previously available to help them address critical issues surrounding cultural understanding.

One World was developed through the support and vision of the NFL and NFLPA (Players Association) -- partners of NEA's Read Across America -- and created and written in collaboration with Scholastic Inc. and Facing History and Ourselves, a national civil rights education organization.

Find free copies of all materials, as well as online interactive challenges for students, at http://scholastic.com/oneworld. All materials are reproducible and designed to be downloaded and printed from the Internet, and all lessons are based on national standards.
