Teachers Teaching Teachers
The History Project at UC Davis is a community of K-16 educators in the greater Sacramento area.
We are:
- committed to raising student achievement by teaching history in challenging and exciting ways, which expand content knowledge and develop a literate citizenry.
- dedicated to supporting and challenging one another in pursuit of excellence in history and social-science education.
“The History Project has been invaluable in providing teachers with useful, timely, and rigorous hands-on activities for Geography, World History and US History. Having the opportunity to hear and speak with university professors who are experts in their fields and actually having time to collaborate with educators throughout the region are certainly strengths of the program. Educators, take advantage of the History Project offerings; they will take your teaching to a much higher level, and you'll have fun in the process!”
