Connecting Past to Present

A Professional Development Series for History Educators
October–November 2025 | Four Online Sessions | 2 Hours Each

Across the country, history teachers are navigating classrooms shaped by immigration debates, struggles over race and rights, and questions about democracy itself. Students want to understand these issues, and teachers need the tools to guide them.

Connecting Past to Present is a four-part online series that responds to this need. Each session begins with a historian providing context for today’s challenges, followed by practical solutions for applying this content and resources in your classroom, guided by the UCLA History–Geography Project team. Together, we’ll explore how history can help us and our students make sense of the present, and prepare them to act as informed participants in our democracy and civic life.
