2 Illinois was the first state in the nation to mandate the inclusion of one unit in Asian American history through the TEAACH (Teaching Equitable Asian American Community History) Act. Through funding from The Asian American Foundation, Sharon Lee (co-principal investigator) and I developed online PD modules for educators to participate at no-cost (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, TEAACH, https://teaach.education.illinois.edu/). I was also able to secure grant funding from ISBE to create PD training for educational administrators on effectively implementing culturally responsive teaching and leading standards. The precarity of our political reality will be interesting to document as these two PD efforts continue.
