I3: Inclusive, Inquiry-Based Social Studies for Illinois

In 2022, the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign joined together under the leadership of Dr. Asif Wilson and a steering committee of K-12 teachers, administrators, and university researchers to launch I3: Inclusive, Inquiry-Based Social Studies for Illinois. The five-year project, centered largely on a five-month-long hybrid professional learning experience, aims to create and implement professional learning for every K-12 Social Studies teacher in Illinois related to inquiry-based and justice-centered teaching and learning.

Over 1000 teachers have participated in i3 and thousands have used our resources
