Lessons

The lessons are organized by the four themes outlines in the California Department of Education's (CDE) Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum. According to the Model Curriculum, in ethnic studies it is crucial to focus not only on understanding oppression and fostering compassion, but also on recognizing advances in ways that promote student agency. This begins with  each teacher seeing the assets and strengths every student brings to the classroom and creating learning environments where students will know their choices matter and be compelled to understanding how their actions contribute to shaping their local context and the world.
