Expenses of the participants will be covered, including round-trip international airfare*, accommodations, meals, and program fees. This unparalleled learning experience and unique opportunity for extensive travel within Korea will be implemented with the financial support of the Korea Foundation. Participants will travel to Korea in two groups, the first from June 24 to July 7, and the second from July 8 to 21. 

A Program in Korean Studies for American Educators 
Held in Korea from June 24-July 7 and July 8-21, 2010.
Made possible by support from the Korea Foundation. 

Applications are invited from social studies professionals, including middle school and high school classroom teachers, administrators, and professors or instructors in schools of education. Preference will be given to applicants who have a demonstrated ability to adapt to new cultural settings and meet the academic demands of an intensive study/travel program. Some prior familiarity with Korean culture and history also is highly desirable. 

The program's 14-day schedule will include lectures and discussions on Korean history, culture, politics, economics, arts, and language. The schedule will also include opportunities for the fellows to visit and study locales of historical and contemporary importance. 

Program participants will be required to: 1) complete a background reading assignment from a list of recommended titles prior to the program; 2) attend all scheduled activities during the program, including evening discussion meetings; 3) after returning from Korea, hand in a completed lesson plan on an aspect of Korean history or culture that reflects one of their areas of interest and expertise; 4) make a presentation on Korea to social studies colleagues at a district, regional, or national level (ex. the National Council for Social Studies meeting). 

APPLICATION: Applicants are requested to complete online applications by March 24, 2010.
