Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month Isn’t Long Enough: Teach AAPI History Year-Round

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Are you planning on teaching the same way as previous years, highlighting a few AAPI authors and discussing the same AAPI people from history? You need to start now to ensure they are the proud and included members of your school community the month is meant to celebrate.

You can use the month to help students learn from history and move forward with new stories, creations, and experiences. From there, you need to keep integrating AAPI history through your year-long curriculum.

Educational diversity and equity expert Naomi Sigg will explain why many students feel isolated at school and show you how to advocate for the Asian, Pacific Islander, South Asian, and Asian American student communities. You will learn how to build an inclusive population for AAPI month.
