K-12 African American History Curriculum Development
Budget: $20,000 – $50,000 USD
I need a comprehensive curriculum for K-12 students on African American History.
Requirements:
- Lessons should be engaging, age-appropriate, and culturally sensitive.
- Cover key events, figures, and contributions in African American history.
- Include interactive activities and assessments.
- Align with educational standards.
Ideal Skills:
- Expertise in history education
- Experience with K-12 curriculum development
- Strong writing and organizational skills
- Background in African American studies or related fields
The consultant will design and develop educator-facing instructional resources for publication on
the Amistad Commission’s online resource website. These materials will support educators in
integrating African American history and African diaspora history into classroom instruction.
Instructional resources will align with the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Social
Studies and reflect key thematic areas represented in the Amistad instructional framework,
including African diaspora connections, cultural expression, civic participation, and Black
leadership in movements for social change.
This project supports the mission of the Amistad Commission and the requirements established
under the Amistad Commission Act, which mandates the integration of African American history
throughout the state’s K–12 curriculum. By expanding the Commission’s instructional resource
website, this work will provide educators with accessible materials that strengthen the teaching
of African American history across New Jersey schools.
