Welcome to the Elk Grove Unified School District’s Teaching American History (TAH) Grant home page. The TAH Grant is a program designed to increase student achievement and interest in American History by offering high-quality and rigorous professional development in American History for teachers.

The Elk Grove Unified School District is currently working on its third TAH grant, The American Citizen: A Study of Liberty and Rights. The program incorporates four projects specifically designed for secondary teachers to increase their content knowledge in American History through a comprehensive study of liberty and rights.

This grant was designed to supplement the district’s second TAH grant, Founding Documents in American History: A Passport to Liberty, which concludes in the spring of 2010. The second grant mainly focused on standards suitable to 8th grade and focused on the study of the Civil War.

Grant #2 and Grant #3 are a direct result of the Elk Grove Unified School District’s initial TAH grant in 2003. The grant focused on providing teachers content in Colonial History through a partnership with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.

This website includes links to information about our TAH grant partners and other resources. Additionally, there is a link to teacher lessons developed by those involved in the TAH grant. Thank you for visiting the Elk Grove Unified School District’s TAH website.
