Let’s learn about the Latine community, together.
400,000 students in New York City schools identify as belonging to Latine communities.
There are more Latine students in New York City schools than all students enrolled in the entire Chicago public school system.
Learn more about the term “Latine” and the diversity within the Latine community here.
Students learn better when their teachers understand their cultures.
Curriculum has always been responsive to students’ cultural backgrounds. Just not all students.
A curriculum from our families & communities.
Too often, curriculum comes from companies who don’t know our students. But it can be created differently. That’s why we are asking families and neighbors all around the city what they think should be included in this Latine Studies Curriculum.
“At a time when efforts to erase identities from our classrooms, our library shelves, and our websites have become commonplace, we say no. Not in New York City.”
