About Us:

The University of California at Berkeley History-Social Science Project is part of the California History-Social Science Project, a statewide project aimed at providing professional development opportunities for history-social science educators in California. We provide intensive, discipline-specific professional development programs designed to enhance teacher content knowledge and to expand classroom teaching techniques, thereby improving student learning.

Goals:

• To promote academic literacy through reading & writing strategies for history-social science


• To translate the History-Social Science Content Standards into student learning


• To model lessons by classroom teacher leaders


• To demonstrate the importance of historical inquiry in the students' history-social science learning


• To explore strategies that teachers can use to help students "act as Historians"
• To provide content lectures by University professors to enhance teachers' historical background knowledge


• To establish a network of support and ongoing professional discussions for educators
