Join educators and Teach Asian American Stories Ambassadors Dr. Darrell DeTample, and Raymund Mantes to learn how to identify and combat anti-Asian bias in the classroom and in our schools.

In this workshop, educators from all disciplines come together to deepen their understanding of their AAPI students. Together, we explore the complex history and multifaceted identity of the AAPI community, unpack shared experiences and stories, counter harmful stereotypes and misconceptions, and address the troubling issue of anti-Asian hate. Educators will leave with a better understanding of the AAPI diaspora, narratives, and lived experiences, empowering them to create more inclusive and culturally responsive educational spaces.

Lunch will be provided. Parking is free. Professional development hours awarded.

Facilitator: Darrell Detample and Raymund Mantes, TAAS Ambassadors
