Review for Institute for Curriculum Services, San Francisco, CA, USA
I am involved with ICS through their newsletter and website. I have been following their progress for several years and am very impressed with their work. As an educator, I know how critical it is to have accurate information in textbooks and to provide teacher training. Their work with publishers is critical but sadly old textbooks with many errors continue to be used in schools. This makes their presentations at social studies conferences and their other work with teachers even more important. I have used information from their website in schools in my city and forwarded their information to teachers and principals. They are a great organization that should have centers in every state and province in North America.
