TEACHING ABOUT RELIGION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
EXTENDED registration deadline: February 20, 2009!!
Registration form is attached below. No refunds after deadline.
Scholarships and stipends now available!!
Among the most challenging content in both the U.S. and World History Content Standards is the extensive coverage of the beliefs, practices, and impact of religion on human history. In addition to this content, for which many have received little preparation, educators must also understand the constitutional issues related to how religion is addressed in public schools. This Saturday workshop series is designed to provide assistance in both these areas. The program will feature scholar sessions on the major religions covered in the Standards, paired with teacher discussions on how to apply this content in California’s religiously diverse classrooms in a constitutionally permissible manner. Professional development credit is offered.
Saturdays: February 21, March 14, and May 16, 2009
