The Alma Project
A Cultural Curriculum Infusion Model
The Alma
Project is a program that provides multicultural curriculum for early
childhood education (ECE) through twelfth grade. We are committed to
supporting the cultural infusion of standards-based lessons into the
daily curriculum. Our exciting collection of units broadens the
teacher's ability to teach a more inclusive and accurate curriculum
through a literacy-based approach. More importantly, it honors the
cultural and historical contributions of various ethnicities represented
in Denver Public Schools—which is 80 percent minority.
When teachers check out Alma curriculum
units, they receive a teacher’s guide; sets of books for each student as
appropriate; support books and materials for the teacher; and other
resources such as videos, cassettes, CDs, posters, maps, and musical
instruments.
