The East Asian Studies Center will present a National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA) seminar July 12 through July 23, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily online (registration required). Professor Ann Marie Davis, University Libraries, will present "The Journey of East Asia: Adventures through stories, games, and maps."
This free professional development course is an introduction to the cultures of China, Japan, and Korea, with special emphasis on the ideas and cultural developments that make East Asia a distinct region. The seminar is designed to encourage and facilitate K-12 teaching and learning about East Asia in world history, geography, social studies, art, and world literature. Media specialists, librarians, art teachers, world language teachers, and others are also well positioned to help foster a place for East Asia in participants' schools. Some class time will be devoted to group discussions of teaching materials and strategies appropriate for different teaching levels to incorporate or enhance participants' curriculum about East Asia.
Participants will receive the following:
$300 worth of resource material ($200 for the seminar, $100 upon completion of requirements)
$200 stipend upon completion of all seminar requirements, including follow up event and lesson plan
Applications submitted by April 30 will receive priority.
