Last week, students in Professor Daniel HoSang’s Anti-Racist Curriculum and Pedagogy class gathered with to share their work with their partner teachers and the wider New Haven based educator community. Students from a Metro High School’s new Educators Rising program also joined the showcase to give feedback on lesson plans and learn more about the curriculum-building process.
The class, which has been taught three times before at Yale, partners eighteen Yale undergrads with partner teachers who want support in producing curricular materials, units, and resources. This year’s partnerships produced lessons on the New Haven Labor movement for students at New Haven’s Adult Education Center, primary source collections from the Yale archives from the Amistad Rebellion, a biology lesson which explores anatomy and health through yoga; and a public exhibit on the history and present practices of abolition in New Haven through the lens of Ruth Wilson Gilmore’s work.
Work from past iterations of this partnership can be found here—they include a resource guide on India and Pakistan and Afro-Cuban Jazz, a vocabulary lesson to accompany the novel Monster, a resource guide on climate change, extreme weather, and environmental justice through an anti-racist lens, and much more. This year’s lesson plans and units will be uploaded to the ARTLC website shortly—check back soon!
