Asian American and Latinx Studies Professional Development for Gwinnett County Teachers

Dr. Sohyun An and Dr. Theresa Alviar-Martin, co-founders of Asian American Voices for Education, a grassroots nonprofit dedicated to promoting inclusive education in Georgia’s K–12 schools, have secured a three-year National Education Association grant. This initiative supports teachers of color across Georgia in developing leadership skills and instructional practices that deepen students’ understanding of Asian American and Latinx Studies. As part of the grant, they are launching a year-long professional development series this fall for educators in Gwinnett County. This work represents an exciting step forward in equipping Georgia teachers to deliver a more humanizing, accurate, and inclusive education for the state’s increasingly diverse student communities.
