2014 SC CENTER FOR THE TEACHING OF ASIA SUMMER INSTITUTE. ( ) June 15-20, 2014. The
South Carolina Center for Teaching about Asia (SCCTA) is offering this residential seminar addressing social studies and global studies standards that pertain to East Asia. More details can be found at the SCCTA website http://www.furman.edu/sccta/. As a residential program, this seminar has particular advantages. You will be housed in apartment-like dorms with teachers like yourself. The opportunities for informal discussions and networking are particularly rich. The speakers approach their presentations assuming that although you teach about China and Japan, you most likely have had little opportunity for formal detailed instruction in the histories and cultures of these regions. Our goal is to build your confidence in teaching about these fascinating and significant major players in the world your students are inheriting. The application can be accessed at www.furman.edu/sccta/. Applicants who wish to be considered in the initial selection process must submit a complete application packet by April 8, 2014. In the event spaces remain in the program after the initial selection, qualified applicants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. If you need additional information please contact:

2014 REVITALIZING POETRY IN THE CLASSROOM INSTITUTE. () July 14-18, 2014Washington, DC.
One of the Favorite Poem Project's significant goals is to enhance and improve the teaching of poetry in the nation's elementary, middle and high school classrooms. The study of poetry, Robert Pinsky believes, is crucial in the modern world. "Poetry connects us with our deep roots," says Pinsky, "our evolution as an animal that created rhythmic language as a means of transmitting vital information across the generations. We need to communicate not only with our peers but our ancestors and descendants, and the arts of poetry, writing, print, digital media serve that communication. As the oldest of those arts, poetry in a deep-going way calls upon the very nature of human society, our interdependence upon one another not only in space but in time. We need the comfort and stimulation that this vital part of us gets from the ancient art." The Favorite Poem Project, in cooperation with the Boston University School of Education, is accepting applications for the eleventh annual Poetry Institute for Educators at Boston University, July 1418, 2014. We invite teachers and teacher/administrator teams across grade levels elementary, middle and high schoolto apply. The Institute seeks a range of participants: new and experienced teachers, those who enjoy teaching poetry and those who've shied away from it. For an application or for more information, please email Professor Lee Indrisano. (Admissions are rolling. The final deadline for electronic or mail submission is July 5, 2014.) For additional information, go to http://www.favoritepoem.org/forTeachers.html.
