Curriculum Project for Chicago Public Schools Educators
We have partnered with Chicago Public Schools' Office of Teaching and Learning and the Office of Social Science and Civic Engagement to bring our curricular units on civil rights, the Holocaust, Reconstruction, and the Red Summer in Chicago to 8th grade Social Studies and high school World History and American History classrooms. These standards-aligned units developed expressly for CPS educators reflect Proven Practices in Civic Learning and connect historical study and ethical reflection to informed action.
