A Class Divided

Jane Elliott’s famous blue eye/brown eye experiment with her 3rd grade class in the late 1960′s is one of the most powerful teaching tools in classrooms today.  So much has been written concerning Ms. Elliott’s activity that it has become the model for discussions on diversity, identity, culture and anti-racism education ever since.  Frontline produced ‘A Class Divided’ in the 1980′s, highlighting the original ABC episode called ‘Eye of the Storm’, and it gained an even wider audience.  You can watch the whole episode online here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/divided/.
