\n Welcome!\n <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n \n
\n\n \n

CALIS is a legacy outreach project of the School of International Relations dedicated to advancing teaching excellence in social science education.<\/p>\n

Through our service-learning programs, USC students team-teach in local schools and act as a driving force for academic innovation and socially relevant scholarship in CALIS development of strategies and materials. <\/p>\n

As USC teams teach locally, CALIS is better able to reach globally to provide analytical tools that help effectively manage controversial and complex challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Build the Change!
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Build the change! <\/em>is a liberty we\u2019ve taken with a very popular maxim.<\/p>\n

The <\/b>CALIS mission is to help create a transformation in social science <\/b>education \u2500with USC student outreach as <\/b>a driving force in the process.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

In the push for change, what is the change?<\/i><\/b>\u00a0 What are the new strategies and materials\u2014\u00a0 and the paradigm shift that guides them?<\/p>\n

The shift is student-driven analysis<\/b>, and the foundation is case teaching with analytical tools<\/b>.<\/p>\n

CALIS earned national recognition for innovation in teaching secondary social science.\u00a0 Through the Teaching International Relations Program (TIRP)<\/strong><\/a>, CALIS places up to 150 USC students annually in local schools to team-teach complex human issues.\u00a0 TIRP teams are supported with a database \u2500combining tools, cases and varied complementary materials.\u00a0 The database is a free resource on the worldwide web.<\/p>\n

Excellent teaching is measured by real learning… of relevant content and rigorous skills. Along with “meaningful study for a global age”, we seek to impact college readiness and help close the achievement gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n
