As states and school districts across the country begin to incorporate ethnic studies in social studies standards and graduation requirements, the conversation around ethnic studies continues to grow. But what exactly is ethnic studies, and how does it fit into your work as an educator? Join us to find out! In this foundational course, review the history and debate around ethnic studies in K-12 schools and examine various definitions to ground your understanding. Then, explore ethnic studies guiding values and principles, including holistic humanization, community cultural wealth, and critical consciousness to deepen your knowledge of ethnic studies frameworks. Design lesson plans and unit ideas that fuse ethnic studies principles into your current curriculum and instruction. By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation on which to grow your ethnic studies expertise! 

While not required, we recommend taking course 5362: History and Foundations of Ethnic Studies (this course) before enrolling in 5324: Designing and Implementing Ethnic Studies to gain a deeper understanding and enhance your overall learning experience.
 
This course format builds from module to module in a way that allows you to work through each of the essential ideas in smaller, more focused segments. You’ll find the same great resources and applicable assignments, distributed over 10 modules.
