Our Mission
Our Mission
Representing the four instructional shifts described in the HSS Framework, the Content, Literacy, Inquiry, and Citizenship (CLIC) Project includes many important elements, all integral for the successful implementation of the HSS Framework.
- A Focus on Inquiry at the Core: Teachers will be supported in utilizing a systematic inquiry process that can be applied to any content area to personalize the learning experience.
- Communities of Practice: A focus on 1) shared professional learning to deepen content knowledge and pedagogy, 2) networking and sharing of best practices, and 3) regional action planning.
- Access and Equity for All: The CPs will adopt an approach that integrates culturally and linguistically responsive teaching to ensure that ALL students thrive.
- Specialized Resources on Important Topics: Organizations with expertise in specialized content areas will develop resources in the context of the inquiry process.
- Online Resources: An online repository of existing and prospective resources will be developed to engage learners and support educators in practical classroom applications.

Participants will analyze historical sources to better understand the underlying causes that led to the Holocaust, the complex roles of the nonJewish community, the response from the international community and the lasting impact on those who survived.

On September 10, 2020, the State Board of Education (SBE) adopted criteria and guidance to award a State Seal of Civic Engagement (SSCE) to California students who demonstrate excellence in civics education and participation, and an understanding of the United States Constitution, the California Constitution, and the democratic system of government. By adopting these criteria, California joined a small but growing number of states that formally recognize and promote student civic engagement with seals to affix to student transcripts, diplomas, or certificates of completion. Click Here to find more resources and information on how you can make the Seal for Civic Engagement a part of your school or district.
Is your district considering implementation of the California State Seal of Civic Engagement? Are you looking to build your civic engagement leadership capacity? Let your Region 6 Support network help support you, your staff, and your students. We have a variety of services that can be useful when trying to plan and implement this new shift in our classrooms and schools.
