Presentations, materials and other resources offered throughout the 2019 Continuous Quality Improvement Statewide Conference for Child Welfare and Probation at UC Davis.

This collection uses primary sources to explore the Bracero Program. Digital Public Library of America Primary Source Sets are designed to help students develop their critical thinking skills and draw diverse material from libraries, archives, and museums across the United States. Each set includes an overview, ten to fifteen primary sources, links to related resources, and a teaching guide. These sets were created and reviewed by the teachers on the DPLA's Education Advisory Committee.

The goal of this course is to explore and develop plans of action for improving the job and career opportunities for today and tomorrow’s workforce. If we take the right actions we can shape the future of work in ways that meet the needs of workers, families, and their economies and societies. To do so we first have to understand how the world of work is changing, how firms can compete and prosper and support good jobs and careers, and how to update the policies and practices governing the world of work.

This collection uses primary sources to explore women's work on the home front during World War II. Digital Public Library of America Primary Source Sets are designed to help students develop their critical thinking skills and draw diverse material from libraries, archives, and museums across the United States. Each set includes an overview, ten to fifteen primary sources, links to related resources, and a teaching guide. These sets were created and reviewed by the teachers on the DPLA's Education Advisory Committee.

Students will be engaged in cross curricular activities that focus on industry wide skills, foundational skills and essential skills for today's workforce (based off of the 13 effective practices for implementing PA CEW standards).

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Are our moms responsible for the lingering wage gap between men and women? A European research team claims that by trading in high-powered careers to provide childcare, mothers have created a social norm that’s been hard for today's generation to shake. Although today’s workforce features more women than ever before, women still earn 15% less than men. Among the many factors creating this wage gap, the researchers focused on women’s life choices. Using a rigorous theoretical model, they linked these choices to whether mothers had high or low future earning ability. ** ** The model argues that the previous generation’s decisions determine the career paths pursued today. If most mothers in the prior generation took lower-level jobs to allow time for childcare, then their daughters aren’t likely to opt for a high-powered career because of this social norm..."
