From the UCLA History-Geography Subject Matter Project, directed by Dr.Danny Diaz:

 

These are video presentations about peoples’ history in the Inland region that connect to larger state and national trends. the Inland Empire connection is quite real for students. 

 

IE Stories represents a distinctive collaboration among teachers, history educators, and historians affiliated with the UCLA History-Geography Project, UC Riverside, Cal State San Bernardino, University of Redlands, the Civil Rights Institute Inland Southern California, and the Relevancy & History Project. The initiative aims to develop lesson plans that focus on various historical narratives of the Inland Empire, utilizing the archives and resources provided by the partnering organizations. These lesson plans are crafted by local K-12 history and Ethnic Studies teachers, specifically designed for K-12 Ethnic Studies and History-Social Studies educators. They will include both primary and secondary sources, literacy strategies, historical thinking concepts, and practices rooted in culturally responsive teaching.
