Abstract

The California International Studies Project (CISP) strives to provide standards-based professional development in history and international studies to prepare students to live, work, and be informed, active citizens in a world where conditions, people, and distant events may have a critical impact on their own and others’ lives. They do this by: (1) Developing teachers’ academic content knowledge and strengthening their instructional skills; (2) Conducting site and statewide programs designed to bridge cultures, cultivate equity, and enhance access for California’s diverse student population; and (3) Examining the complexity of historical and contemporary issues from a range of discipline perspectives.
