Resources

At AAVEd, we create and promote curriculum that reflects the complexity our nation’s history. Asian American stories don’t stand alone, they are part of an interwoven narrative. Excellent Asian American lesson plans already exist, and we feature many of these here.

We are also developing resources specific to Georgia educators. Aligned with the GA DoE Standards of Excellence, these will show how Asian American history is woven together with the histories of all people in the United States.
