Integrating #asianamerican history into schools is about teachers interrogating their curricula w/in the context of their classrooms & communities-not just having access to resources. Fun thinking this thru with educators @yuri_education #CurriculumWritingInstitute last week! 1/
I am so sad to hear that Professor Gary Okihiro has passed away. He was one of the 1st Asian American Studies scholars I learned about when I started teaching high school history in the late 90s

I highly recommend his book American History Unbound to integrate AAPI history into K-12 curriculum. Thanks @DrJenHo for telling me about this. Recently advised teachers to use this book!! #restinpower

NEW AND HORRIFYING REPORT: The Allen, Texas gunman singled out Asians in violent, racist social media posts. At least 4 victims are Asian, 3 from the Cho family. Allen is part of the suburbs north of Dallas where Asian American populations are growing exponentially.

And I shall continue to shout it from the rooftops: History education is essential, and teachers are professionals. @historyed @CBSNews @NAEP_NCES cbsnews.com/video/eighth-gra…
Yet more AAPI stories idk about! Could totally see this being used in an art class - how to draw Scooby Doo like Iwao Takamoto. And then make it interdisciplinary by learning his history in the context of WWII mass incarceration of Japanese Americans
Did you know? The artist behind the original character of Scooby Doo was a Japanese American animator named Iwao Takamoto. He also was the creative mind behind well known animations such as The Flintstones, Lady and the Tramp, and much more! He was born on April 29, 1925.

Thanks Karalee! All about telling those hidden narratives that change up the story with new perspectives #Teaching4Justice

Do you want to know how Asian Americans shaped civil liberties collectively w/ people of color thruout history? Let’s discuss how we can get these stories into the classroom! #miseducasian #sschat eventbrite.com/e/book-talk-w…
Enjoyed working with @ExploringHate @TheWNETGroup on developing education resources for the be/longing video series!
Use this educational resource we developed with @theWNETGroup @Exploring Hate to teach stories of exclusion, striving, and belonging through the voices of Asian Americans today.
