This workshop gives an overview of our lesson plans and the five thematic units of citizenship, civil rights, identity, immigration and racism. It covers the importance of including APIDA history in school curriculums through exploring the contributions of APIDAs in labor activism, the fight for school integration and citizenship rights, the model minority myth as a racial wedge, the perpetual foreigner stereotype as part of systemic racism, and the intersectionality of APIDAs and other minority communities.
Teachers in LAUSD, NYC, and Washington can earn PD credit.
