Teachers will take part in groups of two or more from each school, with around 12 schools or districts participating. Selected teams of teachers will work together to incorporate material relevant to Latin America into their high school curriculums. During the week, faculty from Vanderbilt and the University of Tennessee will be available for workshops and mentoring so that teachers maximize their experience. Housing and a per diem allowance for food will be provided. Deadline for submission of application is March 26, 2010. For further information, contact Claire P.
