Ethnic Studies Course Model Curriculum- DRAFT

For SFUSD Ethnic Studies teachers; By SFUSD Ethnic Studies teachers

On this page, please find sample resources (course overview, unit plans and slide decks and unit introductory videos) created by a cohort of veteran Ethnic Studies teachers during the summers of 2021 and 2022 designed especially to support new Ethnic Studies teachers. Ethnic Studies can never be a one sized approach so we trust that you will modify and adapt these resources as needed to best serve your specific community of scholars. Thank you for all you do, and will do, for our students, families and communities!

For support, please reach out to Ethnic Studies Program Co-Coordinators Nikhil Laud (LaudN@sfusd.ed) and Reynaldo Dulaney (DulaneyR@sfusd.edu).
