Now that the AAPI Curriculum Bill has been signed into law, are you wondering what comes next? Join us on Friday, March 11th at 7 pm to learn about meaningful AAPI curriculum inclusion in schools and current practices, as well as how you can advocate for this curriculum to be included in your school district. Please invite your own school districts and ask members of BOE/district, school curriculum supervisors/teachers to attend.
We will be joined by education experts who will share strategies for bringing AAPI curriculum to your local public schools.
