Our group of 4 teens from Congregation Neveh Shalom in Portland, OR began with an interest in instigating change in humanities curricula in public schools in the Portland metro area. We wanted to create a petition to add more culturally sensitive material to the schools’ curriculum. We did a deep dive into researching how curriculum is created, adopted, and changed from the school level to the state level, and we found that it can take a lot more to change a curriculum than starting a petition. So, we decided to give those who are inspired to take action the information of Six important things to know about changing curriculum in Oregon.
