We are grateful to the many people and organizations that have contributed to the Raven Writes curriculum and resources. Developing a comprehensive, culturally relevant curriculum for grades K-5 could not have been possible without the many SHI staff, curriculum developers, Cultural Specialists, JSD teachers, and partner organizations that contributed to this work.
