The UCSC Education Department, the Central California Writing Project, and the History & Civics Project at UC Santa Cruz are excited to invite you to this in-person event on May 7th for K-16 teachers of all disciplines and school administrators.

Together, we will reimagine civics in education with a focus on freedom dreaming and building a more just future. We will apply what we learn to our  teaching contexts, and collaborate with others to launch literacy rich curriculum and instruction for informed civic action and youth engagement.
