Professional Development

Ethnic Studies is part of the History-Social Science Framework (HSS), and the most effective Ethnic Studies teachers are those that are well-versed in this framework, as well as the Common Core State Standards in History/Social Studies. 

ACES can work with you, utilizing our constructive Ethnic Studies outline and lessons database, to craft a robust curriculum that meets the state standards without the cost of external trainers who are pushing a political agenda. Rather than following the HSS framework, these activist-consultants position Ethnic Studies as an entirely different subject in need of special, and unnecessary, training.

A letter from SBE’s Brooks Allen warns districts about Ethnic Studies consultants, and it is important for administrators to be able to identify extremist, politicized pedagogy.

Please contact us if you are interested in working with one of our professionals on creating a constructive Ethnic Studies outline and customizing your Ethnic Studies course with the constructive lessons, all of which can be found on the CRES database.
