Model Curriculum Projects

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​

Over the course of 2022-2024, the curriculum projects will be created as a collection of lesson plans, primary source documents, planning resources, teaching strategies, and professional development activities to assist educators in teaching about the Cambodian Genocide, Hmong history and culture, and Vietnamese American refugee experiences. The projects will include authentic voices and perspectives through multiple opportunities for authentic engagement across the state. Learn about AB 167, on the Webpage HERE.​

 ​​​​​If you are interested in participating in curriculum writing in the summer of 2023, please fill out the Google form HERE. ​​​

 If you have additional questions, please contact us at ModelCurriculumInfo@ocde.us​​​​
