“The History Project experience is usually described [by Elk Grove teachers] as high quality, easily applicable and very collaborative. Teachers enjoy being treated like professionals and enjoy their opportunities to network and collaborate with other professionals at these workshops. Teachers generally comment on the importance of learning new content. Even the veteran history teacher will remark that he or she is never too experienced to learn new things and it is clear that this enthusiasm has to carry over into the classroom. The program has changed the philosophy and the approach that some teachers are taking to teaching literacy in the history classroom.”
