This book shows college instructors how to communicate their course organization to students in a graphic syllabus—a one-page diagram, flowchart, or concept map of the topical organization—and an outcomes map—a one-page flowchart of the sequence of student learning objectives and outcomes from the foundational through the mediating to the ultimate. It also documents the positive impact that graphics have on student learning and cautions readers about common errors in designing graphic syllabi. (From the Publisher)

Abstract: One powerful response to the disaster of Hurricane Katrina was the Peabody Award-winning HBO documentary film event, When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts, by Spike Lee. Now, through the generosity of the Rockefeller foundaiton, faculty and staff at Teachers College, Columbia University have created this compelling curriculum guide, based on the documentary and for use in high schools, colleges and community groups. In September 2007, through a generous collaboration between The Rockefeller Foundation, Teachers College, and HBO, 30,000 copies of a new curriculum package addressing the issues of citizenship, race, class and poverty raised in the aftermath of Katrina were distributed to school, college and community educators. The package included a copy of Spike Lee and HBO's epic documentary, 'When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts,' as well as the highly acclaimed multidisciplinary curriculum guide, Teaching The Levees. Due to the continued immense demand for this resource, the accompanying curriculum guide is now available for purchase. Teaching The Levees, developed by faculty at Teachers College, Columbia University, includes chapters on history, media literacy, civics, economics and geography. (From the Publisher)
