This catalog is intended to help teachers, curriculum supervisors, members of ethnic organizations, and others interested in multiethnic education become aware of and more effectively use the products of the Ethnic Heritage Studies Program (Title IX, ESEA). The catalog contains in-depth descriptions of the ethnic studies projects funded from 1974 through 1977, along with descriptions of the materials developed by the projects. The kinds of information provided for each entry include: project title and address, the project director, the ethnic group or groups on which the project focused, the audience and grade level for the project, the project's subject (curricular) area, the format of materials developed (i.e., print or nonprint), the amount of funding, the titles of materials developed, and availability information for each piece of material. Indexes by ethnic group, geographic area, subject area, and titles of materials are provided. The catalog also contains very brief descriptions of Title IX ethnic studies projects funded in 1978 and 1979. (Author/RM)

Selected materials produced by Title IX Ethnic Heritage Studies Program projects, funded from 1974 through 1978, are evaluated in this catalog. The materials were selected by three panels of evaluators using three areas of criteria: (1) appropriateness for use in learning situations; (2) ethnic authenticity of content, and (3) technical quality for potential dissemination. An introduction describes the purpose of the evaluation project, development of evaluation instruments, selection of panelists who evaluated materials, and process and results of the evaluation. One hundred and two projects (comprised of 438 pieces of materials) are evaluated. These evaluations are organized by state or territory and, within each state or territory, by the institution that received the grant. Headings for each entry include information on the project title and address, name of project director, ethnic group or groups on which the project focused, audience and grade level for the project, the project's subject (curricular) area, the format of the materials developed (i.e., print or nonprint), the amount of funding, the titles of materials accepted, and availability information for each piece of material. The heading information is followed by a description of the project materials. The final and major portion of the entry for each project presents evaluative comments and suggestions made by members of the three panels. Four indexes facilitate use of the analyses--ethnic group, geographic area, subject area, and materials titles. Appendices include evaluation instruments and a list of Ethnic Studies projects.
