    Confronting and Combating Anti-Asian Sentiment in K-12 Education

    Asian Americans have been victims of increased violence and harassment since the coronavirus pandemic began. With the prevalence of recent attacks, Asian Americans have experienced severe hate and have had to maneuver overt forms of racism. While K-12 educators have been committed to the provision of a multi-cultural climate with equity and respect to every student, Asian children have also been victims of the anti-Asian sentiment. This event will discuss the factors that contribute to the Anti-Asian sentiment, how these issues have impacted educators, parents, and students alike, and talk through some potential interventions for improving experiences of Asian Americans both in and out of the classroom.

    The event took place on Wednesday, April 7th, 2021, at 1 PM EDT.
