Come explore Integrated Action Civics in which content informs civic engagement and conversely integrates civic empowerment strategies into your course content. We'll look at a model for integrating civic engagement into your course and share a framework for examining power that help students understand history content while preparing them for possible civics action projects in your course. By integrating civic engagement with course content, this model helps students learn and apply historical content knowledge and critically important discipline-specific literacy and analytical skills to their understanding of, and response to, contemporary social and political issues. Participants will engage with these strategies and leave with classroom-ready materials.
This approach to civics integration is being developed by the UC Berkeley History-Social Science Project (UCBHSSP) in partnership with the Santa Clara County Office of Education (
SCCOE).
