Join us for a dynamic and interactive workshop designed for K-12 educators and pre-service teachers committed to integrating Asian American history and experiences into their classrooms. We will explore the rich history of Asian Americans, with a special focus on Seabrook Farms, a significant yet often overlooked chapter of New Jersey history. Experts and educators will provide insights into the broader Asian American experience, the evolving landscape of Asian American Studies, and practical strategies for classroom implementation. Participants will engage in discussions, hands-on activities, and collaborative lesson planning to bring these essential stories to life for their students.

- Seabrook Farms with Dr. Trish Morita-Mullaney
- Overview of Seabrook Farms Education and Cultural Center with Masaru Nakawatase
