SUMMARY:DEADLINE - Engaging Eurasia Teacher Fellowship 2024/25: Explorations of Identity in Russia and Eurasia
DESCRIPTION:Are you an educator who is interested in deepening your understanding of the history\, culture and current events of Russia and Eurasia? Consider applying for the Engaging Eurasia Teacher Fellowship! \nApplications for the 2024-2025 fellowship year\, which is devoted to the theme Explorations of Identity in Russian & Eurasian Studies\, are now open. The application deadline is May 1\, 2024.\nThis year-long study will take a multidisciplinary approach to understanding identity in Eurasia. The fellowship will allow participants to take a deep dive into the complex nature of identity\, how it is created and perceived\, how it changes\, and how it can be politicized and polarized. The monthly webinars will help contextualize historically the many aspects that contribute to identity\, ranging from topics like nationality\, ethnicity\, gender\, sexuality\, and race. Fellows will consider novels\, poetry\, art\, film\, and other media that both shape perspective and cultural identity as well as how identity is viewed and interpreted globally. They will also be asked to challenge their own assumptions and commonly held beliefs about identity and culture in Eurasia. \nOver the 9-month fellowship\, fellows will participate in 8 content webinars\, hearing from scholars with expertise on the fellowship topic. Each fellow is expected to complete a final project–either curriculum development or a literature review on a question that develops during the course of the fellowship.\nFor more information and to apply\, please visit: https://www.ucis.pitt.edu/creees/outreach/teacher-fellowship

SUMMARY:Conflicts and Change: Book Club for Educators
DESCRIPTION:Join us virtually to delve into discussions with speakers from various National Resource Centers as well as other experts across the United States. \nK16 Educators! Please join us for next week’s World Area Book Club meeting featuring 2023 Américas Award winning author Alexis Castellanos and her graphic novel Isla to Island. \nThis event will start with a presentation by Alexis Castellanos and the opportunity for Q and A. Following a short period for discussion\, participants will hear from an expert on Cuba to help contextualize the graphic novel. Curriculum resources will be shared. \nAbout Isla to Island:\nThis stunning wordless graphic novel follows a young girl in the 1960s who immigrates from Cuba to the United States and must redefine what home means to her. Marisol loves her colorful island home. Cuba is vibrant with flowers and food and people…but things are changing. The home Marisol loves is no longer safe—and then it’s no longer her home at all. Her parents are sending her to the United States. Alone. Nothing about Marisol’s new life in cold\, gray Brooklyn feels like home—not the language\, school\, or even her foster parents. But Marisol starts to realize that home isn’t always a place. And finding her way can be as simple as staying true to herself. \nWhen: Tuesday\, March 5\, 2024\n7pm-9 pm Eastern\n6pm-8pm Central\n5pm-7 pm Mountain\n4pm-6pm Pacific \nWhere: Zoom\nRegister: https://arizona.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIkcu2rrz4vHtDXOfYtpsMqt0egQsiLqM5Z \nThe World Area Book Club is organized by the University of Minnesota’s Institute for Global Studies.

SUMMARY:DEADLINE - Summer Institute for Global Educators 2024: Educating for Global Resilience
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Summer Institute offers a free\, week-long professional development opportunity with additional stipends for K-12 educators. The institute combines joint sessions with self-selected tracks that balance interactive activities with time for individual research while prioritizing support for the design of high-quality curricular materials. Tracks 1 and 3 below require individual applications\, while Track 2 requires a working group (of 2-4 teachers) application. All sessions will be held virtually. \nGlobal conflicts\, climate change\, and unequal development challenge both societal and personal resilience by causing displacement\, restricting resources\, and counteracting efforts for a renewable world. Whether in urban or rural areas\, people across the world grapple with creating sustainable livelihoods\, ecosystems\, social infrastructures\, and economies. If resilience can be defined as the competence to reduce precarity during a crisis and build a more thriving society after\, how can we best encourage students to learn about and become agents for global resilience? \nTracks Offered: \n“Building Resilience in the Classroom”\nAcknowledging the various challenges that educators and their students face today\, this track will introduce content and strategies to empower participants with helpful tools to better engage and help their students. From understanding the “new normal” of remote instruction and learning\, to existential threats to society such as climate change\, to the rapidly changing EdTech landscape with the recent acceleration of AI tools\, sessions will focus on growth mindset strategies\, critical thinking\, and problem-solving skills\, and help to develop a global perspective on mental health and well-being. \nInterdisciplinary Global Educators Working Group (IGE)\nEducators will work collaboratively to draw on the expertise of colleagues at their schools and will model collaborative learning for their students by producing a deliverable in the form of a globalized unit\, lesson\, or module. Examples of proposed group projects could include Science and French language teachers teaming up to offer a lesson on global warming in the Francophone world; or Art\, English\, and Social Studies teachers collaboratively developing a unit on responses to the global refugee crisis in art and literature. Apply as a team of 2-4 teachers from different subject areas from the same school. \n“Teaching Global Conflicts”\nThis track fosters an understanding of conflicts and peace-building through education. Sessions will illustrate the critical role of education in addressing and mitigating global conflicts\, with a specific emphasis on the unique challenges and opportunities presented by conflicts across various world regions.  Educators will delve into strategies for promoting peace\, understanding\, and reconciliation through educational initiatives. Educators will be empowered to effectively navigate sensitive topics\, engage students in meaningful discussions\, and cultivate a generation of global citizens committed to peace-building in societies and beyond.

SUMMARY:Reading the World: A Book Group for K-12 Educators Focused on Global Literature
DESCRIPTION:About:\nBrazilian educator Paulo Freire writes\, “Reading is not exhausted merely by decoding the written word or written language\, but rather anticipated by and extending into knowledge of the world. Reading the world precedes reading the word\, and the subsequent reading of the word cannot dispense with continually reading the world. Language and reality are dynamically intertwined” (The Importance of the Act of Reading). \nJoin the University of Arizona Centers for East Asian Studies\, Latin American Studies\, and Middle Eastern Studies for our Reading the World book group. Inspired by Freire’s words\, we aim to create a space dedicated to educators discussing authentic and engaging global literature for elementary\, middle\, and high school classrooms. We welcome in-service and pre-service teachers\, educational aides\, administrators\, and librarians. \nWe meet each month from 4:30-6:00 pm at Revolutionary Grounds Books & Coffee (4675 E Speedway Blvd\, Tucson\, AZ). We welcome your participation whether you’ve read the whole book or a single page. Monthly attendance is encouraged but not required. These events are free and open to the public. No registration is required. A certificate of professional development will be provided upon request. \nThis Month:\nOur February title is the young adult novel\, The Last Cuentista by Donna Barba Higuera. \nThe Last Cuentista is the winner of the John Newbery Medal and the Pura Belpré Award. \nHabía una vez . . .  \nThere lived a girl named Petra Peña\, who wanted nothing more than to be a storyteller\, like her abuelita. But Petra’s world is ending. Earth has been destroyed by a comet\, and only a few hundred scientists and their children — among them Petra and her family — have been chosen to journey to a new planet. They are the ones who must carry on the human race. Hundreds of years later\, Petra wakes to this new planet — and the discovery that she is the only person who remembers Earth. A sinister Collective has taken over the ship during its journey\, bent on erasing the sins of humanity’s past. They have systematically purged the memories of all aboard — or purged them altogether. Petra alone now carries the stories of our past\, and with them\, any hope for our future. Can she make them live again?  \nFind the book at your local library or preferred bookseller. The Last Cuentista is also available to read for free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription.  \nIf you love the book and want to use it in your classroom\, The Center for Latin American Studies has a book set of 25 copies available to borrow through our Lending Library. Email kedillon@arizona.edu for more details. \nFor questions\, please contact Katrina Dillon at kedillon@arizona.edu \nThis programming is sponsored by the Centers for East Asian Studies\, Latin American Studies\, and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Arizona through grant funding from the Title VI National Resource Centers program.

DESCRIPTION:The Department of Professional Education at rural Bemidji State University will partner with the Institute for Global Studies at the University of Minnesota to connect teacher candidates with global-minded educators from across the United States. \nThis year\, 4-5 experienced licensed teachers will work with Deborah Jane at the Institute for Global Studies and Dr. Kathrina O’Connell to mentor teacher candidates in Language Arts 1 (ED 3201) and Language Arts II (ED 3202) in working with representational texts that feature indigenous peoples throughout the world. \nSince 2021\, the Institute for Global Studies has provided the BSU A.C. Clark Library with hundreds of award-winning global books (including those featuring indigenous peoples) for the Children and Young Adult section. Not only will this project support the use of these books in teacher candidates’ field experiences in Bemidji-area schools\, but it will also support the development of the teacher candidates’ culturally reflective teaching practices. This project will also support the continued professional development of those educators wishing to be mentors. \nThe mentors and teacher candidates will meet online with BSU faculty member Dr. Kathrina O’Connell to analyze attributes of effective texts and plan collaborative and creative learning activities that correspond with the books. \nFinally\, the mentors will work with select students to prepare a recorded session which will be featured at the educator Diverse Texts Conference in Bemidji\, Minnesota at the end of July 2024. \nThis year\, we are particularly looking for mentors who have worked with Indigenous students. \n If you are accepted\, you will be expected to \n\n1) attend a virtual training on January 29\, 2024 from 6 pm-8 pm CST.\n2) develop a lesson for an award-winning picture book which will be shared on the Institute for Global Studies Educator Resource Website\, and which will be shared at summer conference (see number 4).\n2) attend two partial days of virtual meetings Thursday March 21\, 2024\, from 9:30-10:45am AND 12:30pm-1:45pm (Central Time) and Thursday\, March 28\, 2024 9:30am-10:45am AND 12:30pm-1:45pm (Central Time) with Bemidi State University teacher candidates where you will be offering feedback and facilitating engaging discussions on their ideas of how to use global picture books (with a thematic focus on indigeneity) in the classroom.\n4) Create virtual recorded session with student teacher candidate for the Diverse Texts conference in Bemidji Minnesota July 22-23\, 2024.\n\nIf accepted into this program\, you will receive a $1000 stipend. Mentors are invited to attend the Diverse Texts Conference in Bemidji. If you choose to do this\, you will be responsible for your own travel. Dorm lodging and conference registration will be free for you. \nApplications due December 1\, 2023.

SUMMARY:Experiencing the Pine Ridge Reservation with Students
DESCRIPTION:January 26\, 2024 \n\n2:00 pm-3:00 pm Eastern\n1:00 pm-2:00pm Central\n12pm-1:00 pm Mountain\n11:00 am-12:00 pm Pacific\n\nPlease join us for a special January session of our Global Studies Virtual Symposium\, an event that connects global studies scholars and educators across community college campuses nationwide. The symposium offers an engaging teaching and learning forum for sharing best practices\, ideas\, and resources with colleagues. \nBeginning in the spring of 2016\, Dr Amy Magnus created a new course at South Central College entitled: Dakota History\, Culture and Language. This course had several goals: to teach the Dakota history and culture\, to introduce students to the Dakota language\, (with an Upper Sioux tribal member) and to engage in some sort of trip/service learning opportunity on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Over seventy-five students took part in this experience and were introduced to Lakota culture\, visited historic sites like the Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial\, and spent a day volunteering at one of the reservation elementary schools. This presentation will discuss this experience. \nDr. Amy Magnus has been teaching at South Central College in North Mankato\, Minnesota\, for over twenty years. With a Ph.D. in Multi-Cultural literature from Case Western Reserve University and a credential in American Indian Studies\, she has created the American Indian Studies courses at the college. Teaching these courses as well as film\, English classes\, and American Racial Minorites\, Dr. Magnus works to share these cultures with her students both in and out of the classroom.  As the coordinator of the SCC Global Conference\, a large two-day event that occurs every two years\, she has worked to bring artists\, musicians\, and speakers from other cultures and backgrounds to the campus. She has also created courses that seek to include learning outside the classroom\, such as an Indigenous Cuisine course she created for SCC’s Culinary Program\, and the course she will be talking about today\, Dakota History\, Culture and Language\, a class that includes a service-learning opportunity and trip to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
