Lesson Plans
We want the process of incorporating BIPOC voices and building an anti-racist classroom to be as accessible to educators as possible. That’s why our lesson plans are aligned with national education standards, designed to be flexibly integrated into your existing class curriculum, and include a variety of activities (including interactive slides that can be shared with your students). Whether you use these as stand-alone lessons or adopt a whole lesson plan series, we hope these resources will help you build an empowering community alongside your students. Check back often, we are always releasing new lesson plans!
Grade Level Standards Met
Breaking the Stigma: AANHPI Mental Health
Best fit for health classes, students will learn about the complex cultural, political, and economic factors that affect diverse AANHPI groups and their mental health. Through multiple interactive activities such as discussions, lectures, videos, and projects, students will create a pamphlet on AANHPI mental health for their community, teaching students that their knowledge has the power to positively impact the world!
Exploring Classroom Identities and Intersectionality through an Asian Jewish Lens
Often, people have an incomplete idea of the nature of different identities, such as Asian and Jewish identities. In this lesson plan, students will explore identity and intersectionality and apply it to Asian Jewish experiences and their own lives. Through videos, discussions, worksheets, and a project, students will gain a greater understanding of what it means to hold multiple identities.
Acting Out: Resisting Policed Performances of Gender
Students will gain a nuanced understanding of gender as a policed performance as well as the fight toward queer liberation through police abolition by reading, analyzing, comparing, and corroborating a number of foundational texts and commentary sources.
