Integrating Asian Pacific Islander Desi Americans (APIDA) in Your Everyday Teaching These slides are from a webinar by the Asian American Education Project aimed to help teachers integrate APIDA histories into their existing teaching. The slides share examples of APIDA inclusion into existing curriculum, pedagogical strategies to do so, and reflective questions to help K-12 history teachers probe their own teaching.
Example teaching strategies/historical moments are:
- Angel Island and Ellis Island
- Japanese Incarceration during WWII, Treatment of Muslim Americans and South Asian Americans post 9/11, and U.S. Detention Facilities at the Border
