I thought I heard someone mention Australia!
For those interested in "Multiliteracies" by Mary Kalantzis from James
Cook University in Townsville, Austalia.
Here is a link to an article written by her and Bill Cope "Putting
Multiliteracies to the Test":

This has excellent hypertext links to some of their main ideas,
and a link to the Education Australia Magazine of which Mary K and Bill
C are Executive Editors:

Judy, What an interesting question! If you find such
a thing, I, too, would be interested in seeing it in
action. The New London Group called for such a pedagogy
and so perhaps their organization could be of some help.
(Harvard Educational Review, Vol 66, No 1, 1996)
Mary Kalantzis from James Cook University in Townsville,
Australia published a piece called"Multiliteracies" which
describes a number of such programs, but, as you say, they
are all in Australia or South Africa. . .
Good luck!
