Rooted in Story: AANHPI Voices & Oral Histories for Educators

Join us in person at the Field Museum on Monday, April 14, 2025, from 10am-2pm for an engaging professional learning opportunity designed to help educators bring Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) narratives into their classrooms. This workshop will explore practical strategies to meet the requirements of the TEAACH Act by incorporating South Asian and Filipino American stories and showing educators how to integrate inquiry-based oral histories into instruction and community spaces. 

Gain insights from our community partners Duty to Country, which highlights the legacy of Filipinos and Americans in WWII and their fight for recognition, and South Asian American Policy & Research Institute (SAAPRI), which documents the untold stories of South Asians who immigrated to Illinois between 1945 and 1965. Discover valuable tools to celebrate AANHPI voices year-round and enrich your students' learning experience. Don't miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and elevate AANHPI storytelling in education!

Registration is open to formal and informal educators of all levels. Illinois Educators will earn 4 hours of Professional Development for attending this workshop.

Registration will remain open until Monday, April 7, 2025.
