2016 National Summer Institute: Exploring Nature & Culture in Japan
July 27-29, 2016 (online orientation in June/July)

This exciting summer institute for elementary and middle school teachers will explore how Japanese have interacted over time with the natural world. Gain content and resources to expand lessons you already teach on topics such as haiku, the environment/water, earthquakes and volcanoes, folk tales, festivals, and daily life, using Japan as a case study.

This summer institute is part of a series of thematically linked study opportunities open to all K-8 educators on the topic of nature in traditional and modern Japanese culture. Those who successfully complete this program will be given preference to participate in a heavily subsidized study tour to Japan in the summer of 2017.

Applications are due by February 22.
