Integrated Action Civics: Using Expressions of Power to Examine Birthright Citizenship
Tuesday, Feb 10 @ 4:30 pm PST - ZOOM
On Tuesday, February 10th, at 4:30 p.m., UCBHSSP will provide a brief introduction to the Integrated Action Civics Project. This approach combines change analysis strategies with course content to deepen students' understanding. The session will highlight “Expressions of Power", introducing five distinct ways power can show up in society. These concepts and terms provide students with more nuanced tools to analyze both contemporary and historical events, as well as developing skills to engage in civic action. Classroom ready lesson will be presented exploring an early case establishing birthright citizenship in the United States. The session is free and will be virtual. IACP is a program of the UC Berkeley History-Social Science Project
Embedding Support for Student Civic Engagement Throughout the Curriculum - Integrated Action Civics Project
Join this free workshop to learn about the Integrated Action Civics Project (IACP) that fosters justice-oriented student voice, agency, and civic empowerment in K-12 classrooms. Central to this approach is the introduction of strategies throughout your existing course to help students understand the process of social change, while offering new lenses for the study of course content. Teachers can also support students to apply their learned skills and scaffolds to earn the State Seal of Civic Engagement (SSCE) or engage in other authentic civic action, or simply be empowered members of their communities later in life. IACP is a program of the UC Berkeley History-Social Science Project
