Title: Three Summer Institutes or Courses about China
Body: From http://primarysource.org Here are three opportunities for K-12 educators to learn more about China: --- Summer Institute: The Distinctive Dynasties of Ancient and Imperial China Course dates: July 15 – 19, 2013 Hingham, Massachusetts China is often described as a "continuous" civilization, and while cultural continuities abound from one era to the next, China's long history is equally a record of dynamism in political, social and artistic life. By exploring the cultures and characteristics of several important Chinese dynasties, we can begin to grasp how ideas evolved within China and in response to external influences including foreign conquest. Whether reading a Tang dynasty poem, discussing Confucius' Analects, or viewing a scroll painting of Song dynasty city life, we can use the remarkable products of Chinese culture to bring its distinctive (yet universal) stories to life. This course will include content and resources designed for both elementary educators and teachers of world history to 1800. Open to all K-12 educators. For more details go to http://primarysource.org/distinctive-dynasties-of-ancient-and-imperial-china --- Online Course: The Enduring Legacy of Ancient China Course Dates: June 12 - August 20, 2013 The remarkable richness and endurance of Chinese civilization will be the central focus for this online course, which will explore the long period from the emergence of China's earliest civilizations to the end of the dynastic phase in 1911. The course will mirror the thematic approach taken by Primary Source's own sourcebook, The Enduring Legacy of Ancient China. Topics will include geography, belief systems, the arts, and China's relationship with the world. The course will feature supplemental readings, scholar podcasts, and web-based activities to engage teachers in some of the most current scholarship, while exploring student-friendly tools and resources. This course will be offered completely online and will require a basic comfort level and interest in the use of computer technology as a medium for learning. Open to all K-12 educators. For more details go to http://primarysource.org/ancientchinaonlinecourse --- Online Course: Changing China: History and Culture Since 1644 Course Dates: June 12 - August 20, 2013 What has driven the dramatic transformation of China over the past 350 years? What should students know about this economic and cultural powerhouse? The complex history of modern China and its unique place on the world stage will be the central focus for this online course, which will explore the period from the Qing Dynasty and the decline of dynastic China to the present day. In addition to the materials presented in Primary Source's sourcebook China in the World: A History Since 1644, this course will make use of readings, videos, and web-based resources to engage educators in some of the most current scholarship and thinking on China's development as a nation state. Topics will include the early republic, communist China, economic and political changes, internal migration, arts and literature, and China's future in an era of globalization. This course will be offered completely online and will require a basic comfort level and interest in the use of computer technology as a medium for learning. Recommended especially for educators in grades 6-12. For more details go to http://primarysource.org/modern-china-online-course

Title: Michigan May Drop Foreign Language Rule for Schools
Body: From http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130318/SCHOOLS/303180344/1026/Mich-may-drop-foreign-language-rule-schools Michigan may drop foreign language rule for schools By Shawn D. Lewis March 18, 2103 Foreign language studies could be de-emphasized statewide by a bill that would drop it as a high school graduation requirement. Politicians say the change would offer more flexibility for students who plan to bypass college for a technical career. Currently, students must take a foreign language in grades 9-12 to graduate. Starting with students who entered third grade in 2006, foreign language study in grades K-8 counts too. The bill is in the House Education Committee, which plans to consider it this spring, said its chairwoman, state Rep. Lisa Posthumus Lyons, R-Alto. Sponsored by state Rep. Phil Potvin, R-Cadillac, the bill would allow students to meet the Algebra 2 and foreign language requirements by including computer science as an alternative. The Michigan Department of Education opposes the bill. "Students, regardless of post-secondary plans, will benefit tremendously with at least one additional language to be competitive in the global marketplace," spokesman Martin Ackley said. "World languages is essential for all of our students." John Moore, an associate professor of economics at Walsh College, said he believes changing the law could affect the state's global competitiveness. "Our area is home to a diverse spectrum of ethnic communities," he said. "Foreign companies doing business in the United States would be wise to consider our area for establishing their American presence. Obviously, foreign language skills would be an important consideration for these potential employers."
