Welcome!
Welcome to the professional development series for the Teaching Equitable Asian American Community History (TEAACH) Act, sponsored by the College of Education at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and approved by the Illinois State Board of Education. This series is funded, in part, by a grant from the Asian American Foundation.
What is in This Professional-Development Series?
This professional development series has three sequential modules, each broken into three sections and includes an introduction. Though participants can pick and choose which modules to complete, we highly recommend completing modules in their entireties, when possible. Each module is worth 12 PD hours in the state of Illinois.
