In order to do this, educators must practice humility and open their classrooms to community members and acknowledge these people as knowledge-holders. This means that each district’s ethnic studies course will be unique as it will be tailored to the students, families, and communities in which they are situated. Centering the community’s assets and history is vital in an ethnic studies classroom as the objective is for students to put into practice the lessons they learned; to develop their praxis. en-us 2025-04-23 23:36:25 UTC 2025-04-24 15:52:31 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/hgproject/xl8tuj40jje7a1d5/wish/3423605215 Community members can be one of the greatest assets to a thriving ethnic studies course that is genuine and authentic to the region it is being taught in.

We are very conscious of offering novels that reflect the backgrounds and experiences of our students. But sometimes that can feel a little generic or disingenuous, like checking a box.
