Drawing from educator and activist Tony Delarosa’s "Teaching the Invisible Race: Embodying a Pro Asian American Lens in School," this workshop will offer participants strategies and approaches to examine, expand, and make the cultural and historical context of our Asian American students even more visible to ourselves and in our classrooms. Participants will work to: 1) reflect on the connections between their own experiences and key moments in Asian American history; 2) continue to develop strategies and resources to center, support, and celebrate Asian American students in their classrooms and other spaces; 3) understand the ways in which K-12 educational structures may not support Asian American students as best they can and consider how to address those gaps; 4) articulate the connections Asian Americans have to broader movements of inter-racial solidarity and activism.
