Heritage Cultural Education

Why 4Culture Funds Cultural Education

4Culture's Heritage Cultural Education program encourages heritage organizations and heritage specialists to develop innovative classroom-based heritage education projects in partnership with K-12 schools. Heritage education projects funded through the Heritage Cultural Education program must align with Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs) and Classroom Based Assessments (CBAs), especially those that focus on Social Studies. Projects must be designed to be distributed electronically via the Internet.

For more about EALRs and CBAs, go to www.k12.wa.us.

The Goals of the Heritage Cultural Education Program Include:

  • Building awareness of King County's rich history and heritage, and involving students in documenting and preserving the county's cultural legacies and historic places for the future
  • Providing opportunities for heritage organizations, historians, community elders, tribal representatives, anthropologists, archaeologists, architects, and other heritage specialists to partner with teachers and students in the development and implementation of heritage education curricula
  • Broadening the scope and integration of heritage education at all grade levels as part of core curricula and enhancing relevance of the program by aligning with current Washington State (OSPI) classroom standards and assessments for Social Studies, specifically EALRs and CBAs.
  • Developing and implementing heritage education programs that encourage cultural diversity, and build connections between the present and King County's rich and diverse heritage
  • Supporting heritage education opportunities for all students, including those with special needs

Awards in 2009 ranged from $4,000 to $5,482. Eight proposals for funding were received. A total of $24,482 was awarded to 5 projects. Funding for this program is derived from a portion of King County lodging tax revenues.
