Project Intersect was funded from 2006-2010 by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Innovation and Improvement, Arts in Education Model Demonstration and Dissemination Programs. Project Intersect is a comprehensive and collaborative model designed and facilitated by the University of Minnesota's Institute for Community Integration and Department of Curriculum and Instruction Art Education Program, for American Indian and non-American Indian students in grades K-8 to enhance their interest, understanding, enthusiasm, and performance in standards-based subjects.

The Department of Education provides research-based, quality curriculum resources for educators to use in the classroom. These resources can be used as models and revised, as needed, for each educator's particular needs. Curriculum and assessment alignment forms are available for schools and online learning providers for use in aligning local curriculum and assessment with the standards. Use the sample forms to help you get started. Specialty curricula, such as Indian Education, are included to give educators engaging lessons on a particular topic area.
