NOTES English teachers will be interestedin the new television series entitled "Indian Fables and Legends,"featuring Mrs. Muriel Wasi of the Ministry of Education of New Delhi. This series was recently produced by and is now available from theDivision of Communications of the New York State Education Department, Albany,New York. These legends are also available on audiotape from thesame source. Some of them are available in printed form in the "CUEInsights Through Literature." A complete listing of theseprograms with synopsis of their content will be found in the most recent editionof the CO Social Studies Guide. A survey was made in CUE schoolsto find which resource materials were most useful to teachers. A wide range of ability andbackground at ninth grade levels necessitated theprovision of a widerange of re. scurces to serve all types of pupils. Since many teachers in the 10th, llth, and 12th gradeswere anxious to have humanities materials, they also use CUB resources. Some items have been includedfor these upper grades. These items are noted "for later grades." 44 FOREWORD No recent trendsin educationmat in an exciting Pr!lect CUE, culture, study, knownas understanding, enri4liment. The first trendwas the grdwing recognitionon the part of educators and laymen, fordoing a better job ofteaching thearts, the humanities, The second trend in the publicschools. recognised thepotential impact ofa well organised "system" ofinstruction tosupport the teacher in his day-to-dayteachingle The combination of these two ideasprompted the United Education to give the States Office of New York StateEducation Depertment tegrate the arts into a grant to in- the curriculumthrough the technique planned system of of a carefully instruction, basedupon media - materials, guides, and suggested curriculum methodology andtechniques for program.The Division of implementing the EducationalCommunications and the Secondary Curriculum Bureau of were assigned the taskof operating the directorshipof Dr. Robert the project under Brown and Mrs. GraceN. Lacy. Although the teachingof the humanities has been takingplace in schools in thecountry for many many years, the study beingmade by the Education Departmentrepresented several differentapproaches. First, it was decided that thehumanities were for all students andnot just for select few, whochose to elect a a special humanitiescoulee at a particular grades level. Second, the humanities are part of all subjectarea content and should berecognised and appreciated in thatcontext. Third, acare- fully preparedprogram of media, materials and methodologycould enable the teacher andstudent to teachand learn in three points in a superior way. Withthese mind, 13 experimentalschools were selected the humanities to integrate program into the ninth gradecurriculum. In July, 1963,nine teacher consultants cameto Albany to selectthe materials suitableto their subject areas. They then wrotelesson plans for use of thematerials, under the direction of Mrs.Lacy. The lesson plans were editedby the Bureau of Secondary Curriculumand the assigned subject, matterspecialists, published, and sent to the 13project schools. Packages of the chosenmaterials were assembled by the Division and sent to theschools of EducationalCommunications. Mks. Lacy visited all schoolsto orient the teachersto the program and oxplain theCUE system.

Dr. Brown conducted schools before and testing in all after the culturalmaterial had beenused. Special acknowledgement should be expressedto each individual who participated in ProjectCUE. Since this isimpossible, due to thelarge ,,`Stirm,".3 It numbers that have contributed to the effort, the Department can only recognise in a general way, the help given by the United States Office of Education; the National Art Gallery; the teachers, coordinators and administrators in the thirteen project schools; the special writers and subject area supervisors; the staff of the Division of Educational Communications and the Bureau of Secondary Curriculum; and the manu- facturers and producers of the media-materials used. Lee E. Campion Director, Division of Educational Communications Hugh M. Flick Associate Commissioner for Cultural Education and Special Services ADDENDUM CUE has now been renewed for a third year by the United States Office of Education (1965-66). Interest in the project has become wide- spread throughout the State,and requests for the guides and information about the project come in from many parts of the country. A new "Do-It- Yourself Guide," which gives helpful information to those schools inter- ested in implementing the CUE system, is now available. Use of this guide, CUE subject guides, and materials lists enable any school to benefit from CUE's pioneer research in arts and humanities integration through media and a "systems" approach.
