Watford, Robert And Others American Studies Curriculum Design Educational Innovation Evaluation Methods Humanities Independent Study Individual Needs Individualized Instruction Interdisciplinary Approach Secondary Education Small Schools Social Studies Student Evaluation Student Interests Student Responsibility Thematic Approach United States History A small team of social studies and English teachers in a small high school developed a unique American studies program. Activities dedicated to a better comprehension of American culture follow a humanitites approach in the use of music, literature, art, architecture, photography, history and the social sciences. Units are organized on a thematic approach with learning outcomes specified for each topic and subtopic. Although a required course which meets state requirements for American history, the students choose a learning pattern for each unit from four offered: a traditional teacher-led classroom situation, a small group independent project, an individual independent project, or a one-to-one tutorial relationship with a teacher. Multimedia resources and a special American Studies library are available. Students evaluate the program and their own progress; a narrative evaluation jointly prepared by the teacher and student has replaced teacher assigned grades. The program has been regularly and systematically evaluated and recommended improvements implemented. Questionnaires have documented positive attitude changes in parents and in students. (Relevant ERIC documents and other resources on the program conclude the profile.) (Author/KSM)
