This session delves into how including ethnic history in social studies curriculum can have transformative impact on school culture and climate. Shifting pedagogical approaches redefine the teaching of history through a lens of cultural relevance and equity will be explored. Participants will leave with practical insights on how to integrate these methods into their practice to promote student engagement and critical thinking. Other attendees will learn what to look for from teachers and schools that would promote a better understanding and appreciation of our collective diversity.
