In my work in education, we are constantly looking for ways to engage students. For me, that especially means students of a Filipino heritage. Fortunately, I am not alone in this endeavor. There are several individuals and organizations that have been working on Filipino American curricula. One of the most local is that of Pin@y Educational Partnerships (PEP), based in the San Francisco bay area.
It has been implemented by San Francisco State University (SFSU) students in both the kindergarten through grade twelve educational setting and the community college educational setting. PEP has created two volumes of curriculum materials and continues to not only engage the youth, but recruit teachers as well.
