Strategies
Overview
UC Berkeley, in partnership with Loyola University Chicago, is facilitating the Big City Social Studies Group, a collective of large city school districts and university partners that meet regularly to address common challenges in the teaching of social studies in K-12 schools. This grant will support the development of internal capacity to formalize membership, establish protocols, collaboratively identify strategic projects, and publicly communicate learnings. The group will examine large urban district social studies departments’ and university partners’ current and future directions as they seek to create a model of networked expertise and district-university partnerships that can influence the broader field of social studies education.
