Study of the US Summer Institute for Secondary Educators
The study of the United States institutes for foreign secondary school educators are each intended to provide 30 multinational participants with opportunities to broaden the cultural and historical base of the courses they design and teach by enriching their knowledge of U.S. society, culture, values and institutions, past and present. Both programs will offer a broad overview of the United States in the context of American studies and its constituent disciplines through an integrated series of lectures, readings, interactive discussions, site visits, independent study opportunities and faculty-assisted curriculum research. The ultimate purpose of the programs is to improve the quality of teaching and enhance the development of curricula about the U.S. in educational institutions and school systems abroad. The program is administered by the Institute for Training and Development.
