The Council and the California History-Social Science Project have teamed up to offer two more sessions of the popular We Are California: workshops in Riverside and San Diego in July. The workshops provide exciting ways to use the Council’s We Are California website on the history of California immigration and migration in your classroom.
For only $35, workshop participants will engage with California Council for the Humanities scholars in a discussion on the teaching of immigration, participate in two classroom-ready lesson demonstrations from CHSSP teacher leaders, and enjoy a catered lunch with their teaching colleagues.
