| Title | Report: Meeting the Challenge: Preparing Chinese Language Teachers for American Schools |
| Body | As American students, parents, schools, and districts are recognizing the importance of being able to understand and communicate with China, this recognition has led to significant growth in Chinese language programs over the past five years. Indeed, demand seems likely to continue to increase. The most significant barrier to the expansion of opportunities for students to learn Chinese is the lack of trained and certified teachers. Asia Society has produced a new report: Meeting the Challenge: Preparing Chinese Language Teachers for American Schools. The results of this report were presented at the 2010 National Chinese Language Conference, and the report is now available online. Meeting the Challenge analyzes the current status of and demand for Chinese language programs and proposes ways to expand and enhance the supply of Chinese language teachers, increase their effectiveness, and produce teachers for new innovations in elementary and online language programs.
