Saint Paul Public Schools was featured in the Star Tribune (Minneapolis-St. Paul) for incorporating information about the Hmong culture into the social studies curriculum in grades kindergarten through third. Of St. Paul’s 45,000 students, almost one-third are Hmong. Many parents and community leaders have made requests over the years to have their culture reflected in what the children learn in school. St. Paul officials say that the the social studies curriculum will improve the cultural literacy of all children, as well as increase the number of families who feel welcome at their children’s schools. St. Paul also expects increased achievement for Hmong students. A win-win situation for educators, students, and their families.
