@mrsbrownEDU@CHitch94@librarycongress At UT, we've also been incredibly lucky to have professors like Dr. Hsu and others with immigration expertise, give PDs for our students and for local teachers. These PDs have been wonderful for our Urban Teachers program. #sschat
@EDSITEment Q6: One goal is that I'd to see/initiate more collaboration with community organizations who are on the front lines of activist work. #sschat
@kellyreneeallen@EDSITEment That's great to hear! There are some solid articles on the racial triangulation of Asian Americans (i.e. model minority myth as a disciplining mechanism against other communities of color) by Claire Jean Kim, Stacey Lee & Kevin Kumashiro and others. #sschat
@CHitch94 What's also great about community involvement is that there are usually amazing people and organizations already doing a lot of the work. Their voices are also so important in our classrooms! #sschat
@EDSITEment Q4: Our students attend rallies, marches... they also have know your rights flyers available for all students. They've also attended trainings for how to get involved when you see a confrontation between officials and civilians. #sschat
@CHitch94@kellyreneeallen@EDSITEment "Letters from Camp" by Frank Chi- Smithsonian Institute-letters read by formerly incarcerated Japanese Americans and Muslim American children #sschat https://t.co/bqPhfa3BpA
@kellyreneeallen@EDSITEment I've also found this to be extremely helpful... The videos of Japanese Americans who were incarcerated during WWII reading their letters to Miss Breed with Muslim American children has also been effective in some classes. #sschat
@EDSITEment Q3: I try to facilitate experiences and questions where students have the time and guidance to reflect on how we are all within a constructed culture. I think it's important to make sure the US/our experiences are NOT a default yardstick by which to measure others. #sschat
@EDSITEment Q2: Examples of some compelling questions in my methods classes-Why is Angel Island rarely taught in schools? Who gets in, who doesn't, and who decides? What are the patterns in immigration laws and policies & what do they reveal about the US? #sschat
@CHitch94@EDSITEment@NCSSNetwork At the ground level, yes! Several ethnic studies teachers have been working hard incorporating Asian American history. #sschat
@EDSITEment@IEHS1965 Hello! I'm Esther Kim, a grad student in Social Studies education at UT Austin. I worked with Dr. Hsu on the https://t.co/Y1t3OabTXx. Specifically the lesson plans. Unfortunately I'll be sticking around Austin working on my dissertation this summer... so no travel. #sschat
