The current Design and Visual Communications Frameworks for CTE includes examining the history of typography in Standard 2 and 3H, Fundamentals of Design. These standards allow students to understand the scholars of the typographic canon from a limited view. Missing are design scholars who have influenced the history of typography. In addition, Standards 2 and 3H do not include those who are missing or erased from design history, education, and practice. Knowing this demands the need for the CTE education community to identify the gaps and add missing authors long unrepresented in art and design schools and graphic design programs. In this panel, two longtime high school, college, and teacher educators levels will share how Dr. Cheryl Miller's course, Decolonizing Graphic Design, A Black Perspective is transforming their practice. Cheryl provides user-friendly tactical instruments for educators and administrators of schools to examine one's own relationship to their own ancestral history while adding to the history we all teach.
