"The teaching materials were current, clear, and easy for students to understand and teachers to use. However, the most important aspect of the materials was not the wealth of information but the interactive activities that quickly engaged students. Learning was fun, and that's what it's all about." Nina Turney Potomac High School, Stafford, VA "These materials are of the highest quality! I utilize the Africa and Middle East units in my pre-I.B. World History classes and find them academically challenging and thorough in content." Colleen Boyett Pensacola High School, Pensacola, FL "Southern Center materials save hours of individual labor because they provide up-to-date, thoughtful information that is relevant to the curriculum." Mary Carter Whitten Henry W. Grady High School, Atlanta, GA "It can be difficult for students to envision a region, its economy and its culture, particularly if they have not visited that part of the world. As a result of the World in Transition educational units, my students can view the culture, the economy, and a plethora of regional information about the countries presented through this series." Beverley Boucaud Teacher, Atlanta City Schools
“The Southern Center for International Studies’ … wonderful outreach efforts have enriched the international educations of students in high schools and colleges and universities throughout our country. It is so important for the next generation of America’s leaders to understand America’s role in the world ...” Colin Powell U.S. Secretary of State "[Africa in Transition will] provide teachers and their students with timely information and analysis on the oft-overlooked continent of Africa and indeed might be appropriate for students in Africa itself." Kófi Annan Secretary-General of the United Nations "This excellent material will be very beneficial to students seeking enrichment in international trends and issues." Melvin Laird U.S. Secretary of Defense, 1969-73 "The most impressive thing about the series is the way it breaks away from traditional instruction. Instead of a reading from a boring textbook followed by a lecture, the series encourages participation from the students. The exercises offer the students an opportunity to think out of the box and offers them exposure to more than just the core issues." Tania Wieck World Affairs Councils of America, Washington, DC
