The UCI History Project aims to provide middle and high school history teachers with current research and methods to supplement their existing approach to the discipline. At each institute, teachers will have the opportunity to enhance their content-knowledge through standards-based presentations by members of the UCI History Department and develop a broad, theoretical understanding of history. Moreover, teachers will participate in discussions on current historical methods practiced in Orange County classrooms by teacher leaders. These presentations will be supported with web-based materials and standards-based curriculum, which is available on the website.

The UCI History Project is dedicated to the mission of providing a space for history teachers at varying points in their career, from credential candidates to veteran teachers, to engage in high-quality professional development. Teacher participants will experience a collaborative, scholarly environment that supports the development of historical thinking, content knowledge, and pedagogical expertise. To this end, the UCI History Project staff, which includes scholars and teacher leaders, are dedicated to building a model of professional practice within their own site in order to demonstrate the habits of mind, attitudes, and behaviors necessary to continuously improve the way history is taught, as well as to more deeply understand and appreciate the discipline of history itself.
