Welcome! - Perpetually Under Construction
This section of the website has a links to resources useful to students of California and their teachers.

The table below contains hyperlinks, organized by topic and approach, which will direct you first to a list of pedagogical resources that have been reviewed and vetted. Primarily these are links to high quality teaching resources, especially those which encourage students to think about historical events and personalities much like a historian would.
