Focusing on the Cold War and its legacies, the first Yale-Georgetown Summer Institute for Educators will explore the geography, politics, histories, and economics of the Cold War era. Experts on the Cold War will share their expertise during this dynamic, intensive, interdisciplinary week. The program will be complemented by a three-day field study to Washington, D.C. (July 11-14), and will include site visits to various museums, Latin American embassies, governmental and non-governmental organizations related to the Cold War. On the last three days, participants will take part in the NCSS-PIER Conference. For more information, go to http://www.yale.edu/macmillan/pier/institutes/lais_2009.htm .

Title: Article: How to Forge Partnerships with Businesses: The Chicago Story and Chinese
Body: From http://asiasociety.org/education/pgl/article-businesspartners.htm Illinois ranks 49th in educational funding, but despite this, Chicago has built a pipeline to graduate multi-lingual, world-savvy students. For example, Chicago Public Schools has nearly 40 schools that offer Chinese language instruction. The Chinese classrooms are populated with underserved students, many whom are below their target reading levels. Yet, parents embrace a rigorous globalized curriculum that includes foreign language study. Robert Davis, director of Chicago Public Schools’ International Education program, reached out to local businesses with a message that explained the premise and promise of the Chicago Public Schools international education programs. These companies believe that investing in the local community and in the next generation will ultimately benefit the company. Motorola, for example, agreed to fund students to travel to China to participate in homestays and collaborative learning experiences with their Chinese peers.
