A Declaration of Interdependence: Education for a Global Community. A Summary Report of the NEA Bicentennial Program.
National Education Association, Washington, DC.
This report summarizes the projects undertaken by the National Education Association (NEA) in their efforts to help teachers commemorate the Bicentennial. The report begins with a copy of the NEA Declaration of Interdependence and a listing of the Cardinal Principles of Education. Various project descriptions follow. NEA's Pan-Pacific Bicentennial Satellite experiment consists of monthly satellite radio conferences between teachers in Appalachia and teachers in Papua, New Guinea; New Zealand; Saipan; the Fiji Islands; Honolulu, Hawaii; and Fairbanks and Anchorage, Alaska. A special collection of peace studies curriculum materials was assembled for display at meetings and conferences. A Dorros Award which will be presented yearly to two educational organizations that have made a significant contribution to the concept of the global community was established. Other projects include the Global Teacher's Meeting Program through which teachers from nine countries will exchange ideas with American teachers during a three month visit to the United States; a survey of the roles and attitudes of women in education; an educational film festival; and an international exhibit of teacher's art and photography.
