Los Angeles Unified School District/UTLA Seminar

UTLA Building (September 25 - December 11, 2007)

The USC U.S. – China Institute is offering a 36 hour seminar for Los Angeles USD teachers. Priority in enrollment will be given to world history and language arts teachers, though others may apply. The seminar will be held at the UTLA building at 3303 Wilshire.

Focusing on helping teachers address the California history, social studies, and language arts standards, we will offer presentations on the history and culture of the region, as well as discuss how East Asian case studies can be used to explore a variety of issues.

Teachers who successfully complete the seminar and its follow-up requirements receive:
• $500 stipend for each participant for satisfactory seminar participation and completion of requirements
• $200 in East Asian reference and teaching materials for each participant
• $300 school library grant (per participant) for acquisition of East Asia-focused materials
• all graduates become eligible to apply for a subsidized NCTA trip to East Asia (tentatively set for summer 2008)

Teachers meeting all seminar requirements can receive either two LAUSD salary points (multicultural, specific) or six USC Rossier School of Education continuing education units. LAUSD salary points are issued without charge. There is a fee for the USC continuing education units.

Among the topics covered in the seminar:

• Geography/Early East Asia
