K-12 Outreach
Two significant outreach efforts are hosted by the CSU Chico History Department. The North State History-Social Science Project, one of the California Subject Matter Projects, has been a fixture in the Department since 1993. It provides high quality professional development for teachers throughout northeastern California in a variety of formats, including summer institutes, school inservice programs, and workshops. It also provides support to schools and districts through long- and short-term partnerships.
The California Council for History Education, founded in 2005, is a professional association of historians and history educators that is dedicated to promoting the teaching of history in the schools. It is affiliated with the National Council for History Education.
