Integrating #asianamerican history into schools is about teachers interrogating their curricula w/in the context of their classrooms & communities-not just having access to resources. Fun thinking this thru with educators @yuri_education #CurriculumWritingInstitute last week! 1/

[Freda Lin @lin_freda]

I highly recommend his book American History Unbound to integrate AAPI history into K-12 curriculum. Thanks @DrJenHo for telling me about this. Recently advised teachers to use this book!! #restinpower

I am so sad to hear that Professor Gary Okihiro has passed away. He was one of the 1st Asian American Studies scholars I learned about when I started teaching high school history in the late 90s

[YURI Education Project @yuri_education]

We're excited to announce that YURI is focusing more on creating our own signature Asian American educational resources geared directly to schools and teachers!

NEW AND HORRIFYING REPORT: The Allen, Texas gunman singled out Asians in violent, racist social media posts. At least 4 victims are Asian, 3 from the Cho family. Allen is part of the suburbs north of Dallas where Asian American populations are growing exponentially.

@thuyvodang @edu_to_empower @UCIrvine @UCI_archives @ucilibraries @UCIEducation Thanks so much to all the organizers of #TeachingforJustice for bringing us all together for a wonderful and much needed space! 🥳 💗

[Freda Lin @lin_freda]

Yet more AAPI stories idk about! Could totally see this being used in an art class - how to draw Scooby Doo like Iwao Takamoto. And then make it interdisciplinary by learning his history in the context of WWII mass incarceration of Japanese Americans

[JANM @jamuseum]

Did you know? The artist behind the original character of Scooby Doo was a Japanese American animator named Iwao Takamoto. He also was the creative mind behind well known animations such as The Flintstones, Lady and the Tramp, and much more! He was born on April 29, 1925.

[Freda Lin @lin_freda]

@quitafor @HistoryFrog @yuri_education Thanks so much! Hoping to make this into a free lesson plan PDF for educators. And yes, another presentation to accompany this.

[Freda Lin @lin_freda]

Thanks Karalee! All about telling those hidden narratives that change up the story with new perspectives #Teaching4Justice

Learned so much, not the history learned I learned in school. Thank you @lin_freda @yuri_education #TellTheWholeStory #TeachAAPIhistory

[Freda Lin @lin_freda]

@DrJenHo @larissalam So messed up & sending hugs to you! Reminded me of my 1st yr teaching & leading the diversity committee talking to the faculty about Native American Heritage Month. An old white male teacher disputed the term NA & said he was born in the US & is a Native American?!
