scholarly resources and supporting professional development for K-12
and community college teachers addressing international studies. Programs
and materials are designed in collaboration with teachers and scholars
to meet the challenge of creating a globally informed student body while
addressing the curriculum standards for world history and the particular
needs of California's diverse population. The annual summer conference
