“As a teacher, I frequently attend professional growth seminars. None are better than the UC Davis History Project! The professors are world-class, the administration is friendly and passionate about their work, the presenters are top-notch, and the lessons are geared to the standards and relevant to what I am doing in the classroom. The UC Davis History Project is what's right with public education.”
