Intersections: A professional development project in multicultural and global education, Asian and Asian American Studies

This publication presents a sampling of the writings of participants in the Intersections Project, a professional development program to bridge gap between multicultural and global education for urban schools that involved four participating entities, each with a local project that focused on Asia and Asian Americans. The project was specifically designed for urban educators. Each collaborating project developed a core group of teachers to focus on Asian and Asian American studies.
