APPLICATION PERIOD IS NOW THROUGH MAY 31, 2025

This is a multi-day workshop series for K-12 educators in New Jersey to engage in intensive lesson plan development on Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) histories. This workshop is hosted by Teach Asian American Stories (TAAS), an initiative fueled by AAPI New Jersey to help support the implementation of New Jersey’s historic AAPI curriculum law (S4021). Participating educators will gain knowledge on AAPI histories, professional development on teaching AAPI histories and culturally responsive lesson plan design, resources catered to their classroom grade levels, and guided focus groups with support from experienced educators. By the end of the workshop series, participating educators will have completed a draft lesson plan for their classrooms, which will then be reviewed, edited, and published online for free public access.

We welcome educators of any racial/ethnic identity, with any level of experience learning and teaching AAPI histories, to apply.

Stipend: Participating educators will receive a $400 stipend for full attendance of all four days of the workshop and completion of one lesson plan by the end of the workshop series.
