Workshop Framework:
The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) teacher workshop will be presented using a reality-based presentation that includes demonstration teaching. The Workshop will incorporate the participation of high schools and middle school students from the local area. The workshop will address the needs and interests of secondary history teachers, professors in teacher preparation programs, professors in curriculum and instruction, historians and others interested in the study of African American life and history.

Workshop Objective:
The purpose of the workshop is to highlight the impact of culturally responsive teaching that incorporates the dimensions of African American culture and tenets of identity development among African American middle and high school students. The workshop will focus on presenting culturally responsive teaching ideas and other instructional information to middle and high school history teachers. Participants will leave with strategies they can immediately implement in general and special education environments. These materials can be used to illuminate the history standards (both state and national) to include African American experiences and personal narratives.
