TEACHING THROUGH A CRISIS

As teachers welcome students back to the classroom, they face the responsibility of teaching through the ongoing democratic crisis and supporting their students to become lifelong civic participants. We welcome you to use these free resources to help guide classroom conversation.

PBS Newshour

Read this crash course in Asian American history that quickly dispels the myths around the racism that Asians face in this country. It is full of links that help educate on the harmful policies and practices that have affected the Asian community.

Washington Post

Michael Eric Dyson, author of ““Long Time Coming: Reckoning with Race in America”, talks about the importance of centering Asian American history as part of a comprehensive and culturally relevant curriculum.

Learning For Justice

New York University

This guide lists inclusive classroom policies and procedures that create an inclusive environment for students. Additional resources are provided at the end.
