The University of California Curriculum Integration (UCCI) Institute

This professional development institute brings together academic and career technical high school teachers, administrators, and experts from across California for a 4-day training dedicated to "a-g" course development. Teams will be formed to design innovative model courses that integrate Career Technical Education (CTE) and "a-g" curriculum capable of statewide implementation. Graduates of the UCCI Institute are able to develop integrated courses, serve as members of the UC Cadre of Experts, and will be given preference when applying for the Curriculum Integration Project (CIP) Grant Program.
