Appointed to Two Statewide Education Commissions

Dr. Pittman was recently appointed to two statewide education commissions. The first is the History, Culture, Social Contributions, and Civil Government in Education Commission, which plays a vital role in shaping how social studies and civics are taught in Colorado by making recommendations to the State Board of Education and the Colorado Department of Education (CDE). They work cooperatively with local school boards to assist in developing and promoting programs that engage students towards social studies standards. The second is the Black Historical and Cultural Studies Advisory Committee, which recommends Black History standards and related materials to the State Board of Education and the CDE.
