During the first week of July 2010, seven teacher-authors from across North America met in White Rock, BC to begin working on the Civic Mirror Learning Resource pack. The event was electric and the finished product is going to be like nothing else, taking CM into the pedagogical stratosphere as a primary social studies resource for teachers.
