Sessions will focus on many of the experiences of students in ACPS classrooms. More than 4 million Central American reside in the United States today, yet Central American history and literature are missing from school curriculum. This 3 part workshop series will help fill that gap providing participants with the knowledge and skills required for using culturally responsive teaching that meets the needs of this student group. During sessions participants will be:
- introduced to levels of integration of multicultural content
- become familiar with interactive strategies that can be used in K-12 classrooms
- explore the contemporary socio-economic issues in Central America
- learn about important historical and current Central American figures and authors or poetry and prose
- review culturally inclusive lesson plans that can be used in K-12 classroom.
