The Latinidad Curriculum Initiative (LCI) for New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) aims to enhance the quality of education by providing a dynamic, interdisciplinary curricular framework and lesson plans that celebrate Latinidad and its connection to the histories, intellectual contributions, and cultures of Latinas and Latinos, thus providing a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of the places we call home.
This initiative is a collaborative effort. In this section, we outline different opportunities for various stakeholders, community partners, content area experts, educators, and youth to engage in the development of a Latinidad Curriculum for NYCPS.
If you have any questions, comments, or recommendations about these opportunities, contact us at latinidadnyc@tc.columbia.edu.
