2013 Summer Residential Seminar
July 29 - August 2, 2013
The USC U.S.-China Institute is offering an intensive five-day equivalent of our semester-based "East Asia since 1800" professional development seminar for K-12 teachers employed outside of the greater Los Angeles area.
To be eligible to apply, you must teach at a school located more than 30 miles from USC. Priority in enrollment will be given to World History and Language Arts teachers, but all teachers are encouraged to apply. Enrollment in the seminar will be limited to 24 participants.
Sessions will meet at USC from 9 am to 4 pm, Monday, July 29 to Friday, August 2, 2013. For these meeting days, participants will have the option of commuting to USC and receive our $250 stipend, or be housed at the Radisson Hotel adjacent to USC. Breakfast, lunch and refreshments will be provided throughout the week. Participants will also be taken on field trips to Asia-specific cultural sites around Los Angeles.
