Events

This project will bring together scholars of Mexican American Studies to develop content to deliver to K-5 teachers at two different four-day workshops. Each year twenty-one elementary teachers will attend these workshops.

Workshop

In the first set of workshops, teachers will collaborate to design authentic curriculum units that will include lesson plans based on the scholars’ presentations.

The second set of workshops will focus on refining and adding supplemental materials to the curriculum units with the guidance of the humanities scholars and project personnel.

Conference

In late fall 2020, a free of charge one-day conference will take place. The participating Project SSTARC teachers will present the newly designed Social Studies curriculum, and Project Directors will also deliver talks regarding the project.
