Free course for school librarians & teachers, plus a $700 stipend!

Since I know there are teachers and school librarians who read this blog, I am including a link to a free "Teaching East Asia" seminar I just learned about. It is free to participate, plus you can receive a $700 stipend if you successfully complete the course. How awesome is that?

Taken from http://www.kcta.ku.edu/tea.shtml:

You will receive hundreds of dollars of benefits by participating in “Teaching East Asia," a thirty-contact hour professional development seminar for in-service classroom teachers and school librarians. Funded by the Freeman Foundation of New York and Stowe, Vermont, participation is FREE, or the seminar may be taken for two graduate credits through the University of Kansas. Benefits include:

• $200 worth of books and other educational materials about China, Korea and Japan for personal use.
• $350 stipend for attending the seminar & submitting two lesson plans and one action plan with primary sources.
• $350 stipend for implementing these plans.
• Complimentary one-year subscription to Teaching about Asia magazine.
• Optional two graduate credits in either history or language/culture from the University of Kansas if desired.
• Periodic trips and events for seminar alumni.
• Bimonthly email updates on educating your students about East Asia.
