The history of the United States is complex, composed of overlapping experiences, voices, and stories that have shaped our nation. When these layered perspectives are taught, students learn to value not only themselves, but all people in society.

At AAVEd, we promote the teaching of comprehensive U.S. history as a path to fostering understanding and relational connection in the classroom and beyond.
