National Consortium for Teaching about Asia
30-Hour Seminars Offered to K-12 Educators in the Northwest

As part of the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA), the EARC offers 30-hour introductory seminars on East Asia to educators in the Northwest during winter-spring each year. NCTA is a national initiative to encourage and facilitate teaching about East Asia in social studies, humanities, and literature courses, generously funded by the Freeman Foundation. All seminars are led by a master teacher or Asia scholar who guides educators in an exploration of East Asian history, geography, and culture. Seminar participants meet periodically throughout winter and spring, create lesson plans about East Asia, and attend a follow-up meeting in the fall. The seminar is offered free of charge.
