Cambodian American Studies Model Curriculum casmc.ucdavis.edu

The Cambodian American Studies Model Curriculum (CASMC) is a set of open-source lesson plans, primary source documents, planning resources, teaching strategies, and professional development activities designed to enhance existing courses or support educators in course development. Curriculum development was driven by community voices as per Assembly Bill 167 and Senate Bill 369. Collaborators included researchers, writers, and community members, many of whom have Cambodian ancestry. The curriculum is designed to assist K–12 educators in teaching about the histories and cultures of Cambodians. This includes:

Cambodian American history and heritage
The long-term causes and effects of the Cambodian Genocide
The experiences of Cambodian Americans coming to the United States
The establishment of Cambodian American communities
