The project team conducted research on
the social, economic, historical and cultural background of the local
community. They then wrote a “native
soil” book based on the research for use in the classroom. Local educators were highly involved in
the writing and revision process to ensure that the book met the needs of
local education and was easy for teachers to use. After the curriculum had been thoroughly revised based on
experimentation in local classrooms, the book was printed and distributed
to local schools. We then organized a
summer camp for local students centered on the “native soil” curriculum. In addition, local teachers participated in professional development activities to support them in implementing and
improving the curriculum.
