Online Summer IACP Institute
June 23 - 27 2025 on Zoom
Come learn about the Integrated Action Civics Project (IACP) that fosters justice-oriented student voice, agency, and civic empowerment in K-12 classrooms. Central to this approach is the introduction of strategies throughout your existing course to help students understand the process of social change, while offering new lenses for the study of course content. Students can apply their learned skills and scaffolds to engage in meaningful, authentic civic action in their communities.
The IACP strategies also support student exploration of Ethnic Studies concepts of identity, systems of oppression, hope and healing and resistance and change.
