This discussion will focus on some of the models in implementing an Ethnic Studies curriculum in School Districts.  While Fabian Pavon will present an introductory overview of the various initiatives being proposed locally and statewide, Enrique and Gilda will present some of their research on the application of Ethnic Studies in the Montebello and San Bernardino School Districts, and Cecilia Larios Gutierrez will present her teaching experiences in Ethnic Studies at the high school level. 

 The Ethnic Studies discussion is a continuation of our efforts to deepen our understanding of the issues that the Latino and Latina Roundtable has prioritized as part of informing our members and taking public positions.
