Program for Teaching East Asia



The National Consortium for
Teaching about Asia (NCTA)


Benefits of Seminar Participation

Benefits of participation in an NCTA seminar include:

  • Quality instruction about Asia from leading experts in the field;
  • Free coursebooks and materials;
  • Professional stipend upon completion of all seminar requirements;
  • Generous donation of exemplary curriculum materials on Asia for school library or teacher resource center; and
  • Eligibility to apply to University of Colorado NCTA study tours to Japan and China.

Eligibility

Highest priority is given to secondary teachers of world geography, world history, world cultures, world art, religion, economics, and language arts/literature. Other secondary educators in a position to promote the sustained presence of Asia in the curriculum, such as media specialists and curriculum coordinators, may be given consideration.

How to Apply

Applications and scheduled dates are available on the Teaching East Asia website and directly from seminar leaders. Admission is on a rolling basis and seminars typically fill quickly; early application is suggested.

Educators should send completed applications directly to the seminar leader of the location for which they are applying. Educators interested in enrolling in an NCTA seminar in other parts of the country should see the national project website at http://www.NCTAsia.org.
