Stories of People of Color in the O.C.: A More Inclusive History of the OC
Join the UC Irvine History Project at our last after-school workshop of our series “Stories of People of Color in the O.C.” The goal of this series is to focus on untold or undertold local/community histories that will help support teachers and districts as they work towards meeting the ethnic studies graduation requirements outlined in AB101. In addition to centering community stories, we will be highlighting literacy strategies to help provide ideas for educators on how to bring these rich histories into their classrooms for their students to engage with. Our next workshop, on May 2nd, will examine the rich history of People of Color in Orange County, CA.
This workshop will use A People’s Guide to Orange County as our grounding text and we will highlight how to use this text in the classroom. Additionally, we will hear how one teacher leader in Irvine Unified engages his students with this history through an ethnic studies lens. We are honored to have Thuy Vo Dang as our guest scholar on this day.
Special note: Parking and dinner will be provided to all participants. Also, all participants will receive a copy of the book A People’s Guide to Orange County.
