In collaboration with two multi-ethnic Filipino families and the Smithsonian Institute Asian Pacific American Center (APAC), resource creators have developed zines that present a personal history of how these families lived in Washington State through oral histories, family trees, interviews, family photographs, and a celebrated family recipe. The zines begin a conversation of how these families' histories connect with larger conversations of identity and belonging — a groundbreaking K-12 curriculum resource on Filipino American history.

In this virtual professional development opportunity designed for teachers, EarthGen explores two global crises taking place concurrently - the climate crisis and COVID-19. What are the connections between the two? Why are BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) communities disproportionately affected by both? Educators receive foundational information around climate justice, analyze the variables associated with vulnerability, exposure, and risk, and explore educational resources to bring this content into their classrooms.Contact EarthGen at info@earthgenwa.org for more information.

Salmon play an important role in the ways of life, culture, history, and resilience of the tribes of this region. The tribes of Washington State and the Pacific Northwest have always depended on salmon as a primary source of food. Overfishing, roads, dams, pollution, and other human practices have been a growing threat to the survival of salmon, which has impacted fishing, salmon-eaters, and the environment. These lessons introduce to children the role of salmon in the history and culture of the first peoples of our region.

The Honoring the Salmon lessons are designed to be taught as a series but can also be taught individually, adapted for each grade level, K-3. They can easily be integrated into science units on salmon, water or watersheds. Content knowledge from these lessons can provide background knowledge for 3rd grade and 4th grade Social Studies CBAs.

NOTE: These lessons are designed around fiction and non-fiction books that are not a part of the STI curriculum. Most of them are easily available through public libraries. Some may need to be purchased.

These lesson resources align to additional Washington State Social Studies, English Language Arts, Environmental and Sustainability, and Social Emotional Learning standards. A full standard curriculum document is included at the bottom of the Pathway 2 introduction page.

An emergent learner could be described as someone in the initial stages of learning to read and write and encompasses all behaviors and understandings preceding conventional reading and writing, as noted by Koppenhaver, Coleman, Kalman, and Yoider (1991) and Sulzby (1985). With the help of high-quality instruction, emergent learners will be provided the opportunity to acquire foundational reading and writing skills. As all beginning communicators, emergent learners rely on those around them to provide access and instruction to age-respectful and meaningful learning opportunities. Challenges may arise for students who struggle to manipulate books physically or for those who are non-speaking and/or use aided AAC. In such cases, this module offers solutions to support you as their teacher. Teachers must also face the reality of instructing all different learning levels, whether they are at the emergent, transitional, or conventional stages of literacy learning. This module also supports the creation of high-quality literacy lesson planning to meet your student's needs regardless of their learning stage. This task can be daunting and difficult without the right tools.  Using OpenAI to support material adaptation and modifications can assist teachers in removing barriers and ensuring that all students can engage in enriching reading and writing experiences.
