WCSS 25

Inspired by the iconic "Schitt's Creek" scene, this session tackles the challenge of textbook fidelity. Attendees will explore the "Why" and research behind high-quality resource fidelity. Practical examples will demonstrate how to maintain fidelity while making social studies engaging, interactive, culturally responsive, and include content literacy. Join us to transform your teaching approach and walk away with valuable resources! 

In April 2024, Gov. Evers signed a bill requiring the teaching of Hmong and Asian America in K-12 classrooms. In this session, the authors of the book Teaching Asian America in Elementary Classrooms and developers of the Stop AAPI Hate K-12 Asian American Studies Curriculum Framework will offer an overview of Asian America and a wealth of suggestions and resources for K-12 classroom instruction.
