The National Consortium for Teaching About Asia (NCTA) is dedicated to bringing Asia to the classroom and funds professional development seminars for K-12 educators. This summer, select teachers will travel on one of two NCTA-subsidized summer study tours. Participants were selected based on how eagerly and effectively they have incorporated East Asia content into their curricula. Participants utilize their study tour experience in the classroom by completing a curriculum assignment upon their return.
