The South Carolina Center for Teaching about Asia (SCCTA) is offering this residential seminar addressing social studies and global studies standards that pertain to East Asia. More details can be found at the SCCTA website http://www.furman.edu/sccta.  As a residential program, this seminar has particular advantages. Participants are housed in apartment-like dorms with fellow teachers. The opportunities for informal discussions and networking are particularly rich. The speakers approach their presentations assuming that although participants may teach about China and Japan, they most likely have had little opportunity for formal detailed instruction in the histories and cultures of these regions. The goal is to build confidence in teaching about these fascinating and significant “major players” in the world current students are inheriting.

How to apply:

The application can be accessed at http://www.furman.edu/sccta.  Qualified applicants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
