The Edmund W. Gordon Institute for Advanced Study at Teachers College, Columbia University leads key curriculum development and research efforts connected to the Latinidad Curriculum Initiative.
The initiative provides a dynamic, interdisciplinary curricular framework and lesson plans that celebrate Latinidad and its connection to the histories, accomplishments, and cultures of New York City and the nation.
The Gordon Institute’s work supports educators in recognizing who their students are and creating learning experiences that reflect the histories, cultures, and intellectual contributions of Latinas and Latinos.
United Way of New York City helps drive the initiative through partnership coordination, community engagement, and public-facing implementation support. UWNYC works with partners and stakeholders across the city to help connect the initiative to communities, support school-facing efforts, and strengthen the conditions needed for long-term impact.
UWNYC’s related work includes Community Libraries, Parent Associations, Curricular Crates, and public history efforts such as the Neighborhood Histories Plaque Program.
