As you may be aware, the UC Irvine History Project provides an institutional framework for collaboration between the UCI School of Humanities and K-12 history and ethnic studies teachers in Orange County. Our Project is dedicated to providing a space for teachers at varying points in their career, from credential candidates to veteran teachers, to engage in high-quality professional development.
That is why we are excited to announce a PD series starting in January 2024 titled, “Stories of People of Color in the O.C.” The goal of this PD series is to focus on untold or undertold local/community histories that will help support teachers and districts as they work towards meeting the ethnic studies graduation requirements outlined in AB101. In addition to centering community stories, we will also be highlighting literacy strategies to help provide ideas for educators on how to bring these rich histories into their classrooms for their students to engage with.
Special Notes:
Additionally, teachers can apply to be UCI History Project Fellows to engage deeper with these topics at our summer workshop, June 10th-13th from 9:30am - 3:30pm (Application Deadline: )
