SCIENCE CONNECTIONS
History teachers can find exciting ways to think out of the box by collaborating with their colleagues in science departments and integrate science perspectives into the world history curriculum through global topics like population growth, climate change, environmental law, and energy politics.
· The law schools at UC Berkeley and UCLA have launched a new blog, Legal Planet, which provides insight and analysis on climate change, energy, and environmental law and policy. This collaborative blog draws upon the individual research strengths and vast expertise of the law schools' think tanks and legal scholars.

· Conference: Sustainable Professional Development for Global Systems Science in the 21st Century - July 13-15, 2009.
You are invited to attend the Global Systems Science (GSS) conference which will be held 2009 July 13-15 (3 days) at Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California, Berkeley, CA.
This conference will combine elements of the Global System Science curriculum materials and the new GSS partner: the Global Science textbook authored by John Christensen and published by Kendall/Hunt. We'll share best techniques for using GSS and Global Science materials with high school classes as well as techniques for both in-person and remote-meeting professional development. The materials feature reading and investigations that can form an Earth Science course, Environmental Science course, Integrated Science course, or constitute valuable supplements to traditional Physics, Biology, and Chemistry courses. Preliminary agenda is on the GSS conference page:

Would you like to go on safari and then be able to talk to the locals about what the the park and wildlife conservation mean to them?

WHAT:
This is the 8th year we have offered this institute. Each year, through our teachers' classroom inquiries we've added to our understanding, helping all history students be better readers, writers, and thinkers. In this five day institute, we will focus on discipline-specific literacy strategies designed to increase student reading, writing, and critical thinking skills while teaching the California Historical-Social Science Content Standards. Local teachers will lead workshops with classroom-tested model lessons. Teachers will create their own standard-based lesson integrating the literacy strategies learned at the institute. Interdisciplinary teacher cadres are also encouraged to attend this institute.
COST: $410 before April 30; $450 after April 30

Information and Technology in World History Institute
An Institute for World History Teachers, Grades 6, 7, & 10; Other Interested Teachers
July 20-24, 2009

This institute will place our current information and technological revolutions in a world historical perspective through a set of case studies drawn from different cultures and contexts from antiquity to the present day. In examining the effects of information and technology on political, economic, and social development, we will explore several major themes, including writing and print/information technology; science and society; technology and warfare; and empire and the diffusion and consolidation of knowledge. Presented by professors from UC Berkeley's History Department, and organized around the Content Standards for California Public Schools, these case studies will provide a number of useful tools and strategies for teaching information and technology in world history.

Teaching Asia in World History Institute
From: Michael Weber, Gettysburg College (mweber@gettysburg.edu)
We are pleased to announce this summer's World History Institute at Gettysburg College, focused upon Asia in World History. During July 26 to 31, we are inviting teachers at the middle school, high school, and collegiate level to join us for a week of instruction and conversation at the college. This year Michael Adas, Howard Spodek, and Megan Greene will be our guest lecturers; in addition, we will have experienced master teachers, members of Gettysburg's faculty, and specialists in using computers in world history instruction and research on hand. Of course, we are going to offer tours of the Battlefield and the Eisenhower farm just for our group, accompanied by experienced guides. Accommodations are in single rooms with private baths.
Last year we had a great group of participants from across the United States-from middle school to collegiate teachers--and we are looking forward to another fun and worthwhile session.
If you have any questions, you can email me (mweber@gettysburg.edu) or Liz
Johns (johnel05@gettysburg.edu) for registration information.

Summer Institute - National Humanities Center
From: National Humanities Center [mailto:ckoplik@nationalhumanitiescenter.org]
BECOMING MODERN:
AMERICA, 1918-1929
A Summer Institute for
High School Teachers of
History, Literature, and Art
June 21-July 3, 2009
The National Humanities Center
Research Triangle Park, NC
How did World War I affect politics in the United States?
Why did the prestige and power of American business dramatically increase in the 1920s?
What explains the remarkable cultural ferment of this period?
What place did religious and spiritual values assume in the United States during the Twenties?
How did concepts of citizenship and national identity change in the decade after World War I?
How did women and African Americans struggle to advance social equality?
How did modernizing and traditional forces clash during the decade?
"Becoming Modern: America, 1918-1929" will explore these and other questions through history, literature, and art. Under the direction of leading scholars, institute participants will examine such issues as immigration, prohibition, radicalism, changing moral standards, and evolution to discover how the forces of modernity and traditionalism made the Twenties both liberating and repressive.
Participants will assist National Humanities Center staff in identifying texts and defining lines of inquiry for a new addition to the Center's Toolbox Library which provides online resources for teacher professional development
and classroom instruction.
