  • Considerations for Inclusive Holiday and Observances
    CONSIDERATIONS FOR INCLUSIVE HOLIDAY AND OBSERVANCES Holiday celebrations are an excellent opportunity to provide a window into a culture or understand more about a group of people, as well as reinforce the diversity of all people’s experiences. Students can engage in rich educational experiences by reading about, researching and experiencing holidays. In order to ensure that holidays and observances are truly educational, they also need to be inclusive and respectful. Below are some important considerations when planning holiday observances in your classroom or school. CONSIDER YOUR STUDENTS Consider the composition of your classroom and who celebrates which holidays. You might think differently about how you approach a holiday if no one in your class observes that day, only a few do or the majority of students do. Do not assume all students of a certain background know about and are interested in talking about a particular holiday and be careful not to place students in the position of being the “authority” or main possessor of knowledge about a holiday’s history and customs. For example, you can’t assume that an Asian American student is familiar with the origins of Lunar New Year or that every one of the Jewish faith recognizes Passover in the same way. Some students (or families) may want to share knowledge around a holiday, and you may want to let them take the lead. Remember, they are speaking from their own experience and it can be helpful to introduce any student presentations with the explanation that there is diversity in the ways people within a group observe different holidays and that this student will be sharing his/her unique way of observing it.

You’ll hear stories about how LA has “finally” figured out our culinary scene in the last few years (thanks for the pity visit, Michelin!), but the fact is that the city has always had a killer food scene. This is a city where ex-Nobu busboys open their own Mexican sushi restaurants , a city that essentially jump-started the food truck revolution (thanks Roy Choi!). It's where you can turn a quiet corner corner and walk directly into the heart of a Guatemalan street food market, or find world’s-best-sushi contenders in the dusty corners of a strip mall. LA is stuffed top to bottom with incredible things to eat. It's also, you know, one of America's biggest and most vibrant cities. And one of the best ways to see LA at its best is through the lens of food -- something that makes LA one of the 20 Best Places for a Big Trip in 2020 . In this guide, we’re talking about the Los Angeles of 2020.
