Overview from California Department of Education

​

The Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum posted on the Department website (www.cde.ca.gov) has guidelines for schools and districts, rationales for ethnic studies, and a (massive) section with background information about a number of ethnic groups, including resources and sample lessons. Below are the chapters and URLs for each separate chapter as the whole publication is huge. Resources listed in the pull down menu are in addition to what is included in the Model Curriculum chapters.
