Florida Seminar for Teaching about Asia
The UF Asian Studies Program coordinates two seminars for teachers, in association with the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia. The summer institute is a two-week intensive course, while the academic year program runs over 8 months, one Saturday per month. Each program offers middle and high school teachers the opportunity to learn about Asian history, culture, politics, and art, and ways to integrate Asia into their curricula. Seminars are led by experts in the field. Teachers will develop and present a lesson plan, and will meet for a foll0w-up session to analyze how they were able to integrate their lesson plan into their year of instruction.
Benefts for teachers in either seminar include college credit or in-service points, honoraria, seminar materials, funding for their schools' libraries, and on-site housing for the summer seminar.
