Policy isn’t Enough: Learning from Ethnic Studies K-12 Teachers
by Artnelson Concordia and Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales
ABSTRACT: Although there is a need to celebrate California’s wins around Ethnic Studies (ES), including the signage of California State University’s Assembly Bill 1460 into law, the passing of policy is not enough. In the rush to implement ES, there is a hyper-focus on which courses should be eligible to fulfill ES requirements based on curriculum content. This essay takes a different perspective and focuses on weaving the voices of ES practitioners to explore what we believe is necessary for a principled implementation.
