Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience

The Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience will draw on its collections to supplement the Asian Pacific American (APA) history curriculum in Washington state schools. Working with a committee of local educators, special education teachers, and disability advocates, the museum will research, write, and compile a new curriculum exploring the culture, immigrant and refugee history, and APA experiences in the state. The curriculum will align with state standards and address one grade at each level-elementary, middle, and high school. Each lesson will be available through an online web portal and will include multisensory lessons and components that address a variety of learning styles. Additional project activities will include teacher training opportunities; school tours at the museum based on the curriculum; and a professional evaluation.
