China and the World (Tuesdays, Jan. 31 - Feb. 28, 2023)
China’s rise has already reshaped our world and its influence continues to grow. Many welcome this. Some worry about it. K-12 educators are encouraged to learn more about China and its global reach in this five week online course. It is aimed at equipping teachers to bring more about these vital developments into their own classrooms.
The online seminar includes:
-
Recorded video lectures & readings
-
Mandatory online forum participation
-
Tuesday discussions (5-6 pm Pacific Time) with Clayton Dube via Zoom
Benefits:
