PERSPECTIVES ON EAST ASIA FOR TEACHERS: CONTEMPORARY JAPAN A Summer
Course for K-12 Educators University of Washington Seattle, Washington This summer, the University of Washington's East Asia Resource Center (EARC) and Japan Studies, in partnership with the College of Education, have teamed up to design an intensive course on Japan. For pre- and in-service K-12 educators, Perspectives on East Asia for Teachers: Contemporary Japan is a month-long course that will give educators an outstanding grounding in Japan studies and in curricular strategies for bringing Japan into the classroom. UW Japan scholar Andrea Arai and master teacher Pat Burleson will teach the course; Professor Arai will lead daily lecture-discussion sessions, and Ms. Burleson will teach classroom application sessions that build on the material covered in the lectures and guide educators in creating a culminating project such as a CBA or unit. The lecture-discussion component covers topics in Meiji Japan up to the present, tracing the development of Japan’s modern institutions. Lecture topics on contemporary Japan—including education, women, work, religion, the bursting of the bubble, politics, and Japan in the world—explain why things are the way they are in Japan today. MORE INFORMATION: For more information, please contact Mary Cingcade by calling (206) 543-1921 or e-mailing earc@u.washington.edu. APPLY: Six credits or 60 clock hours are available. The course is offered at a reduced rate of $175, thanks to a grant from the Freeman Foundation. For application information, please visit: http://jsis.washington.edu/earc. A workshop and informational session will be held on April 29. |
