We Are All Americans: Teachers coming together to make hidden histories visible in classrooms

Tuesday July 26 from 1 – 2:30pm ET/10:00am PT – 11:30am PT
Via Zoom hosted by the NWP Write Now Teacher Studio

Join us for an online teacher workshop led by teachers, grades 3 to 12, who have been involved in a set of regional workshops and an online study group titled “We Are All Americans” developed by the National Japanese American Historical Society and the Bay Area Writing Project. The study group is where teachers from across the country have been able to support one another to make hidden histories visible in their classrooms and to support each other through a “really tough year.”  In this workshop, these teachers will share their curriculum and ways of collaborating while foregrounding US Japanese Incarceration History and the work of their students. You are invited to join this workshop and, in small and large groups, work collaboratively  alongside the teachers to consider ways you might adapt and modify this curricula in your own context. Workshop participants will then be invited to connect to this ongoing study group and/or continue conversation into the school year via the NWP Write Now Teacher Studio.
