To celebrate the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in May, the NAEYC Asian Interest Forum (AIF) would like to pay tribute to Asian American early childhood educators and educators who have been helping Asian American children and families thrive in the United States by sharing their teacher profiles. We are also putting together this Asian American Pacific Islander Early Childhood Education resource page for educators to access resources.  We can't do this alone and we need your help! If you have a relevant resource you would like to include in the AIF resource page, please let us know through the NAEYC AIF HELLO page. 

Let's celebrate our Asian American early childhood educators and educators who have been helping Asian American children and families thrive in the United States! To view their teaching profile, just click the video clip below.

Teaching Tolerance
 
In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, join TT Professional Development Trainer Sarah-SoonLing Blackburn and Teaching and Learning Specialist Jon Tobin in unpacking the origins, meaning and contemporary impact of the term "Asian American Pacific Islander." We will also break down the model minority myth and provide educators with resources to effectively teach AAPI history.
