From the California History-Social Science Project website:

"This institute focuses on the theme of Changing Definitions of Citizenship in the U.S. for 5th, 8th, and 11th grade teachers of U.S. History/English-Language Arts. The goal of the series is to increase content knowledge in U.S. History and learn how to incorporate reading, writing, and thinking strategies into standards-based classrooms. The institute includes professor lectures each day on a variety of U.S. history topics followed by models of teacher-created lessons tying lecture topics into the standards-based citizenship theme and integrating reading and writing strategies in the curriculum. Teachers will receive standards-based, grade-specific model lessons and develop strategy-based lessons involving primary and secondary sources with other committed U.S. History teachers."

From the California History-Social Science Project website:

From the California History-Social Science Project website:

"A new interactive online exhibit from the California Council for the Humanities (CCH) – We Are California – will explore the history and stories of those who have immigrated or migrated to California. A new partnership between the Council and the California History-Social Science Project (CHSSP) will help to bring this exciting resource to the classroom.

The topics of the workshops will be 'The Sikhs of Yuba City' and 'Sam Brannan and the Mormon Settlements of California.' Both presentations will include classroom ready materials aligned with the California History-Social Science Standards."

This PhilaPlace project workshop will suggest approaches for developing local history mapping lessons and discuss ways to incorporate immigration and oral history into such projects.
