Programs in International Educational Resources (PIER) of the Yale Center for International and Area Studies (YCIAS) will offer four concurrent seminars, Summer Institutes, beginning July 7.
The four institutes -- "The Teaching of Africa," "The First World War and the 20th Century," "Portraits of Contemporary Puerto Rican Communities" and "Understanding Global Issues: National Security in Today's World" -- are open to educators at all levels (K-12 through college) and other professionals. The one- or two-week institutes will take place at YCIAS in Henry R. Luce Hall, 34 Hillhouse Ave.
In addition, "Chinese Ethnicity: Visual and Personal Encounters," a mini-seminar on the use of films in teaching about Chinese, will be offered July 14-17.
Each institute offers educators and professionals the opportunity to work with leading scholars, practitioners, policy-makers and diplomats in each of the areas. Participants are exposed to the most recent research on the major issues and have the opportunity to review and evaluate resources for teaching about them. Each program offers a combination of lectures, seminars, discussions, films and videos, workshops, field trips, cultural events, technology and resource workshops.
The institutes are designed to assist school systems nationwide to meet international education requirements. Yale is an authorized provider of Continuing Education Units, and participants in each institute can receive up to six units. Tuition ranges from $250 to $400, depending upon the length of the program, and includes all books and materials. Financial assistance may be available for some institutes.
