The Cultural Events Series

Your school celebrates culture. But are students actually learning it?

Go beyond posters and parades with powerful, standards-aligned lessons that build real cultural understanding.

“The lessons in the Cultural Events Series are authentic, engaging, and easy to use with low prep. My students and I found ways to connect on a deeper level than I ever have before.”

John, 7th Grade Social Studies Teacher
Who this was built for

Real cultural learning, ready when teachers need it.

  • A teacher who wants to go deeper than a bulletin board but does not have hours to build curriculum from scratch
  • A principal tired of cultural events that feel performative instead of purposeful
  • A curriculum director building an equity-focused instructional calendar who needs something standards-aligned now
  • An educator serving multilingual learners who need ESOL-aligned support that honors their backgrounds
  • A school that wants every student, especially those rarely represented in the curriculum, to feel genuinely represented rather than simply celebrated

Close the gap

Your school has a cultural event on the calendar. Your teachers don’t have a curriculum to match.

Most schools mark the calendar: Black History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, AAPI Heritage Month. They put up the display board, hold an assembly, and move on. The students who belong to those communities notice.

The Cultural Events Series closes the gap between celebration and understanding, and it is ready to teach the day it lands in your inbox.

About the author

Dr. Jennifer Baez

Dr. Jennifer Baez has spent 22 years in K-12 classrooms, administrative offices, and district boardrooms. She has been the principal who had to run a cultural event with no curriculum and no budget. She has watched students sit through another surface-level assembly and wonder if their culture was really being seen or merely displayed.

She built the Cultural Events Series because the tools she needed did not exist yet. So she made them.
