From the website: "The History Project at UC Davis provides professional learning for teachers in the greater Sacramento region by bringing together scholars and teachers to improve history-social science education and develop an informed, engaged, and literate citizenry.

Our professional learning programs respond to the needs of teachers and local educational agencies in order to strengthen teacher capacity and develop teacher leadership. The ultimate goal of our programs is to increase the content knowledge and discipline-specific literacy and thinking skills of all students through inquiry-based instruction."
