UCBHSSP is hosting a 2 day virtual symposium for teachers of world history. Each half day session will share a re-envisioning of a year instruction, a scholarly lecture, and teacher discussion and collaboration.
We encourage you to sign up for the half day session aligned to your grade level, and then invite all participating teachers to attend the afternoon of Day 2 where we will bring together the collective learning about teaching the world to students in the 21st century.
