Video Series
The award-winning Windows & Mirrors video series features images and narratives from across the globe, including Africa, Middle East, Asia and Latin America. Designed for middle school and high school students, educators use the videos and study guides — available without charge — as creative teaching tools in the classroom to illustrate the diverse cultural backgrounds that make up America’s rich mosaic.
The Windows & Mirrors theme is based on the “Curriculum as Window & Mirror” essay – first published in Listening for All Voices, Oak Knoll School monograph, Summit, NJ, 1988.
