The Orange County Department of Education is proud to introduce the Hmong History and Cultural Studies Model Curriculum (HHCSMC) at conferences between 2025 and 2026. The HHCSMC will assist educators in teaching about the diaspora, histories, cultures, and traditions of Hmong peoples as part of Education Finance Bill AB 167. Stipends are available for teachers from contracted districts. At the conferences, K-12 educators will: 

• Learn about the HHCSMC and companion resources 
• Connect with educators, scholars, community members, and culture bearers, as well as relevant cultural practices and ways of knowing 
• Participate in culturally immersive experiences in local communities 
•
