Middle & high school educators! Educurious is offering a free PBL professional learning workshop for our new AAPI/US History unit “Kaona: Language is Life” on July 11th from 10 to 4 pm PST. This Library of Congress-Teaching with Primary Sources funded curriculum adds another exciting OER unit to Educurious' Ethnic Studies series.

The unit deconstructs the AAPI acronym that represents about 50 ethnic groups and over 100 different languages and then zooms in on the Hawaiian sovereignty movement. Students discover how Hawaiian activists have advocated for ea—sovereignty, life, and air—and aloha ‘āina—"love of the land" or "to love like the land loves us"—and ultimately apply what they learned to their own lived experiences.
