El Plan De Los Angeles

The Mission Statement of El Plan De Los Angeles was read on September 15, 2012. It calls for a movement by students, teachers, and community to bring Raza and Ethnic Studies to High Schools, Community Colleges, and K-8 education in Los Angeles, California and the nation to follow. The full document, a toolkit for implenting Raza and Ethnic Studies courses and programs, will be available in early December 2012. This movement was kicked off during a conference July 21st at Santa Monica College. To view the video simply click here.

AMAE Fuego Nuevo Center

The AMAE-FNC is an affiliate of AMAE that serves as a knowledge delivery system or professional development arm of the Statewide organization. The FNC is organized as a cooperative and serves as a clearinghouse for progressive/critical education. We lead professional development classes for teachers in LAUSD (salary pt. classes), we hold institutes and seminars at major conferences such as the CA Assoc. of Bilingual Educators (CABE), we have a dedicated conference strand at the annual Statewide AMAE Conference,and we help organize forums and conferences such as this one. The AMAE FNC, Westside AMAE, and PYFC were the principal orgs that conceived of the need to hold a Raza Studies Now Forum. It is so exciting to see people getting together around this very important work. I can't tell you how proud I am of everyone and bummed that I won't be there to see the birth of this intellectual baby. I will be there to raise it though, lol!

The AMAE FNC will be critical to the continued work of developing the post Forum plan of action as well as coordinating the knowledge delivery components to teachers in school districts throughout LA and hopefully the rest of CA. The FNC capitalizes on extensive knowledge and experience concerning the education of Raza students. We specialize in transforming ideas into action and action into structure. We know how to make it a reality, inside the world of school district and university administrations. This is why I believe that it is very important to list a link to the FB page on the website, especially as this work progresses.
