Abstract
This capstone project consists of a series of professional learning sessions to support teachers in their implementation of Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education (CR-SE) using the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) as a resource and case study. Through the lens of Historically Responsive Literacy, the series also seeks to reestablish social science as a critical element of natural history for teachers. This series can help teachers see the museum as not only a place to explore life and physical science, but also a place to explore identity, social/emotional development, cultural studies and American History. The project includes resources and directions for the session facilitator and the accompanying presentations which can be adapted for virtual or in person use. Sessions one and three are presented in this capstone, and the complete project can be downloaded for use here: https://amnhcrse.commons.gc.cuny.edu/.
