This is to notify you of an outstanding professional development opportunity for U.S. educators.  The Korean Studies Workshop for American Educators, sponsored by the Korea Foundation, provides U.S. educators with fully-funded study tours of Korea.  The workshop is designed to enhance mutual understanding between the people of Korea and the United States by inviting certain U.S. educators to visit Korea and then share their experiences with fellow Americans upon their return.  In the summer of 2008, up to 100 secondary school social studies educators from across the United States will be selected to travel to Korea for the 12-day workshop.  The workshop will include lectures, tours to cultural and industrial sites, and meetings with Korean educators and students. 

 

The deadline for the 2008 Korean Studies Workshop is February 22, 2008.  Those interested should visit our website at www.iie.org/ksw to access the online application.  Promotional brochures are available by request.  To request materials or if you have any questions, please contact 1-800-270-4317 or ksw@iie.org.  Thank you for your support and assistance in alerting your colleagues to the Korean Studies Workshop opportunity.

 

Sincerely,
