Each National Heritage Fellow from 1982 to 2002 is profiled, and numerous suggestions are offered for teaching students in grades 4-12 about traditional arts and artists. The activities featured in the guide allow students to interact and engage in the kinds of information-seeking activities required of them outside the classroom, such as evaluating materials, organizing disparate types of material, and creating meaning for their own lives. The objectives outlined in the guide support the National Education Goals.
