We are accepting reservations for the 2010/2011 school year.

 

Let the staff from the Center for Diversity Education come to YOU with our Road Show programs!  We engage students in a meaningful discussion and a tactile learning experience using artifact education and food sampling.  All programs support the North Carolina Standard Course of Study.  Road shows provide K-12 teachers with the opportunity to promote understanding and acceptance of diverse peoples and traditions in our own community and around the world.

General Information About Road Shows

• Cost is $2.25/per child. This covers the cost of food, gas, staff, etc. 
• 30-45 minute (increasing with age) sessions  held with individual classes. Up to 3 holidays addressed in each session. Teachers are asked to come to a consensus about holiday choices.
• Schools may schedule between 2-6 sessions per day.
•  A minimum of 60 students total, per school, must participate in order to book presentations. Involve your peers, and reach out to teachers from other grade levels. Note: If multiple grade levels in your school are scheduling Road Shows, try to pick different holidays for each grade to help students learn about new holidays from year to year.
• The program display will be set up in one central location (ex: library, auditorium, etc.).
• Due to rising costs, we will travel the first 15 miles (from downtown Asheville) free of charge. For every mile thereafter, a $0.50/mile fee will be included.
