Classroom resources for anti-racist education
Since Time Immemorial curriculum
In 2015, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 5433 modifying the original 2005 legislation, now requiring the Since Time Immemorial: Tribal Sovereignty in Washington state or other tribally-developed curriculum be taught in all schools. The use of the Since Time Immemorial curriculum has been endorsed by all 29 federally recognized tribes.
The OSPI Since Time Immemorial website includes ready to go lessons, implementation guides, and upcoming trainings.
Do you need support in implementing the Since Time Immemorial curriculum in your school? Please reach out to us!
Apply for educator funds for professional development or anti-racist education projects
Whatcom CARE distributes grant funds to support K-12 educators who are eager to create more inclusive, multicultural, and anti-racist classrooms. These funds are specifically for educators, administrators, PTOs/PTAs, or others who regularly interact with K-12 public school students in Whatcom County.
Funds can be used for workshops, professional development opportunities, classroom materials, books, curriculum resources, projects, enrichment activities, or guest speakers that support educators in bringing anti-racist and culturally responsive pedagogy into their classrooms.
Please complete the Educator Fund Request form to make your funding request, and allow about 1-2 weeks for us to review it and respond.
