Call for Proposals
Since its first institute in 1990, the California History-Social Science Project (CHSSP) has been dedicated to improving student learning and literacy through teacher professional learning, curriculum development, and educational research. To mark our 25th anniversary, we are bringing together leaders in the field of history education to explore both the current state and the future of the field at a special statewide conference entitled, Teaching the Past for Tomorrow: A Conference on the Future of History Education, scheduled for November 6-7, 2015 at the University of California, Los Angeles.
We invite conference proposals from classroom teachers, educational leaders, university faculty, governmental institutions, representatives from museums, non-profit, and / or philanthropic organizations, and the history education industry.
The CHSSP would like to thank HISTORY, the California Department of Education, and the UC Davis Institute of Social Sciences for their support of the Teaching the Past for Tomorrow Conference.
