Linking Strategies and Interventions in Asian American Studies to K-12 Classrooms and Teacher Preparation
Kiang, Peter Nien-chu
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, v17 n2 p199-225 Mar-Apr 2004
This article documents a series of programmatic strategies developed within an Asian American Studies Program at one urban public university to impact positively the education of K-12 students and teachers--especially, but not exclusively, those who are Asian American. The article first presents four critical challenges facing practitioners in the Asian American Studies field who wish to intervene more actively within the domain of K-12 education. These include the complex demographic realities of Asian American populations; the exclusion of Asian American Studies content in the K-12 curriculum; the limited flow of Asian Americans into the field of education; and the confounding impact of high-stakes testing across all these areas. The article then describes six specific interventions by a university-based Asian American Studies program that have ecologically supported Asian American teacher education and professional development as well as K-12 curriculum development, parent/family training and high school youth development.
