In 2019, educator Anton Miglietta brought his students from Instituto Justice and Leadership Academy in Pilsen to CHM on a field trip. What they experienced was a harmful lack of Latino/a/e representation in the Museum’s exhibitions. The students decided to demand accountability and change.

In this workshop, Miglietta describes how his students’ protest led to our exhibition Aquí en Chicago and the profound impact it had on his teaching. Miglietta champions lifting student voice and choice in curriculum and will share practical resources and strategies to use in your own classroom.

Free; advance reservations required. Recommended for teachers of grades 6–12. 3 PD hours.
