@LTEquity204 Thank you for a wonderful session of learning and sharing together!

[Maricor @LibrarianChang]

Last chance to register for the 10/22 PD I am facilitating from 9-11 AM for @AAAJ_Chicago! Come join me for a free 2 hour PD on Zoom for secondary education and learn how you can incorporate Asian American history and story in your teaching.

[Maricor @LibrarianChang]

ATTENTION EDUCATORS! Start the school year with making sure that your inclusive curriculum includes the Asian American experience. @AAAJ_Chicago can help with that! Find out more and register for one of our many PDs here: https://t.co/tGLhpbfXZJ

What do we say to our children and our children’s children if we are silent on this?

How can we claim to want to interrupt the school-to-prison pipeline and not see its rubrics here?

Representation matters!

[Kelly Yang @kellyyanghk]

There is a price for not seeing yourself in a book. Kids pay it every day. That bill doesn’t just go away. It’s a part of you. It’s like a credit card debt, except it robs you at the core of your identity. #RepresentationMatters #Freadom #FinallySeen #FrontDeskSeries

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

[AdvancingJustice|Chi @AAAJ_Chicago]

Today, the #SupremeCourt hyper-partisan majority ruled to strike down #AffirmativeAction policies at Harvard and UNC, flouting nearly 50 years of legal precedent and our country’s long history and current reality of racial inequity. But our fight isn’t over.

[AdvancingJustice|Chi @AAAJ_Chicago]

One year after the passage of the historic TEAACH Act we have much to celebrate, but there's still lots of work to be done to implement this bill and ensure that Asian American students across the state and see themselves in the classroom! READ MORE!

In CNBC read about our work to ensure Asian American students can see themselves reflected in the classroom!

We're at the forefront of a growing movement to ensure Asian American history is taught in public schools.

Minoru “Min” Yasui was one of four Japanese Americans who fought the legality of exclusion and/or detention during World War II all the way to the Supreme Court. In honor of #NationalPoetryMonth, here’s one of Yasui’s prison poems, “Why Are We Here?”

[Florida Freedom to Read Project @FLFreedomRead]

Today is #RightToReadDay kicking off National Library Week.

We wanted to feature titles that spent time off shelves in FL schools because students’ right to read them was called into question. We are determined to get them all back!

Check them out at your public library!

"What validates my students’ experiences are the conversations that stem from these texts in my classroom; the discussions are what truly get to the heart of their experiences. These validate them as human beings," @TeachPlusPA Fellow Paul Walsh writes.

50 years ago, American Indian Movement activists began the occupation of Wounded Knee. Over the course of 71 days, Indigenous activists and allies – including members of the group Asians in Solidarity with Wounded Knee – joined them in solidarity. https://t.co/sirGPsHMc9

I truly appreciate working with the Teach Plus facilitator affinity group community, supporting BIPOC educators in Illinois. Their guidance and role modeling have helped me so much when creating an affinity group and building a strong community. Love our affinity group!
