About the Project

Learning from Our Communities through Oral History will support ongoing and new oral history projects for up to forty educators from Val Verde Unified School District, Moreno Valley Unified School District, Moreno Valley College, and other local school districts in the Inland Empire (the IE); students will conduct oral history projects with IE residents and will share oral histories at a community event and through a website and podcast. Educators will participate in a year-long community of practice centered on the topics of oral history and culturally sustaining teaching and apply their learning in their classrooms.
