Traveling Culture Kits Survey for Teachers

The Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies (CILAS) at the University of California, San Diego would like San Diego area teachers' opinions for new Traveling Culture Kit themes based on Latin America. These kits will be available for teachers to check out free of charge. We need your input to develop culture kits that will have an impact in the classroom and that will be used widely by teachers. The purpose of these kits is to have hands on activities and materials for the students to aid multiculturalism in the classroom. Culture Kits will contain:
· Books & Literature for students
· Teacher Resource Materials
· Lesson Plans/Curriculum Units
· Musical Instruments
· Artifacts
· Films & Compact Discs
· Posters & Maps
