ADCRI Education
Arab Americans, Muslims, and South Asians were among the secondary victims of the attacks on September 11th. Hate crimes, discrimination, and public hostility were commonplace in the following weeks. As a result this allowed us the unique opportunity to educate people about Arabs and Arab Americans.
All over the country people are asking for materials on Arab culture, history and religion. Listed below is a selection of resources and lesson plans we have put together on this subject. Feel free to print out and use these materials, just make sure to indicate ADC as the source.
In addition, Arab Americans are also responding to the many flaws in textbooks and the occasional ethnic or religious insensitivity of teachers or students. ADC’s program of “Reaching the Teachers” utilizes this grass-roots network of chapters, activists & members, including many parents of school-aged children, to reach out to teachers, schools and school systems. By learning how to evaluate the multicultural programs in your schools you will be able to determine how well your school system is doing.
Education Initiative
ADC is embarking on an ambitious national campaign for K-12 education. The program will provide teaching and learning tools focused on accurate and engaging classroom materials on Arab history and culture. Additionally, ADC’s new education program will comprehensively involve advocacy for the mental health and civil rights of Arab students and faculty. ADC will develop and lead professional training sessions for teachers, administrators and community members who advocate for students and for the dissemination resources in different school districts. Our efforts will empower teachers, parents and students to push back against long-standing biases and assumptions against Arab and Muslim peoples. Your tax deductible donation works for our collective communities.
