The number of Asian American students in schools and colleges has soared in the last twenty-five years, and they make up one of the fastest growing segments of the student population. However, classroom material often does not include their version of the American experience. Teaching about Asian Pacific Americans was created to address this void. This resource guide provides interactive activities, assignments, and strategies for classrooms or workshops. Those new to the field of Asian American studies will appreciate the background information on issues that concern Asian Pacific Americans, while experts in the field will find powerful, innovative teaching activities that clearly convey established and new ideas. The activities in this book have been used effectively in classrooms, workshops for staff and practitioners in student services programs, community-based organizations, teacher training programs, social service agencies, and diversity training. Teaching About Asian Pacific Americans serves as a critical resource for anyone interested in race, ethnicity, and Asian Pacific American communities. (From the Publisher)

This book tells the story of building a campus “Learning Garden” over a series of cohorts of student teachers and environmental education students. The garden began with high ideals, no funding, and a strong desire to “do something” about the environment. The result was a transformation in attitude toward nature, community and toward the learning process itself. Described through three metaphors (garden as environment, garden as community, garden as transformation) this book provides a bridge of theory and practice for ecology-centred teaching and learning. As new teachers and teacher educators decide how to include “the environment” and principles of “sustainability” into their lessons, this groundbreaking text provides a bridge between theory and practice and guides the reader into the ways that teaching in the natural world changes how people learn, and, how they teach.
