This seminar is designed to offer a comprehensive overview of the geography, history, and culture of East Asia. The hope is that the participants will incorporate what they learn in the seminar into their own curriculum in an effort to teach more about East Asia in their classrooms. Session topics are designed to address the California State History/Social Studies Standards. The content of lectures is intended to increase participants’ knowledge of East Asia and Asian American studies as well as to provide information that can be taught or modified for classroom use. Teachers will also have an opportunity to share their ideas for integrating Asian studies into their curricula.
Application closes March 7th. The synchronous (live) sessions will take place on the following Tues.: March 25, April 8, April 22 and May 6. Participants will receive a $300 professional stipend upon completion of all seminar requirements and are eligible to receive credit.
