Building Academic Literacy through History Institute An Institute for 4th-12th Grade Teachers
July 13-17, 2009 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
GROUPS: $400 per teacher, cadre of four or more teachers
WHERE: This institute will be held on the UC Berkeley campus.

Information and Technology in World History Institute
An Institute for World History Teachers, Grades 6, 7, & 10; Other Interested Teachers
July 20-24, 2009 WHAT:
We live in an age of globalization characterized in part by rapid developments in technology and information systems. But information and technology have often been powerful forces for historical change. 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.
COST: $410 before April 30; $450 after April 30
