This proceedings, in English and Spanish, describes the first U.S./Mexico Curriculum Symposium, held in Austin, Texas, in November 1994. The symposium grew out of an ongoing exchange between educators in the Republic of Mexico and the United States and was attended by over 200 teachers, administrators, staff from state and regional education agencies, legislators, university faculty, and business and community leaders. The symposium focused on curriculum and had three major objectives: to exchange viewpoints on curriculum and instruction in various subject areas, to share curriculum materials through exhibits and curriculum workshops, and to establish and strengthen links among colleagues. The overriding theme was that of cooperation and mutuality; participants stressed the need for equality in partnerships, and several sessions highlighted existing projects that involve extensive binational cooperation. Other major themes were the importance of bilingualism and of indigenous (Native American) cultures in both countries, the importance of overcoming biases against diversity, and parallels between current educational reform efforts in the United States and Mexico. This proceedings summarizes welcoming remarks; a session on regional resources for bilingual education and international cooperation; concurrent sessions on curriculum and instructional issues in language arts, mathematics, special education, and early childhood education; sessions on educational policy and the links between policy change and educational practice; and sessions presented by curriculum developers, authors, and editors in various content areas.
