Using the curriculum

In using the curriculum, it is important that all sections are previewed before starting the units. By doing so, teachers may enhance their content knowledge to better implement the suggested activities for the students. Depending on the age level of the students, the teacher may also consider modifying the lesson or the assessment to ensure the success of all students.

It is also important to mention that while these units are intended to give a diverse range of education content, teachers may wish to seek out further information and/or resources which are listed in the Background Information and Teacher Resources section to enrich students’ interests.

Finally, we welcome teacher and student feedback and/or reflections. Through these units, we hope that students and teachers will better understand the diversity and breadth of the American experience, become more aware of the experiences of Asian Americans, and appreciate how they contribute to our multicultural society.
