Teaching Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage

We will also break down the model minority myth and provide educators with resources to effectively teach AAPI history.

Hello! I created this slide deck series for ELA teachers/librarians to use during AAPI Heritage Month and beyond. Each slide features a different YA or middle grades author. Please feel free to share so more teachers can use it! https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1HCw6Nn1iK6udSu1ZRHzFhFYU0WqI_pyXl0_gSE2ePwc/edit?usp=sharing
