Fellowship Overview |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The Keizai Koho Center (Japan Institute for Social and Economic
Affairs) in cooperation with the National Association of Japan-America
Societies sponsored a two-week fellowship to Japan this summer for
15 educators in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia to learn
first hand about contemporary Japanese society and enhance their
classroom teaching of global perspectives.
|
|
| |
| |
| Fellowship Agenda |
| |
| Fellowship Dates: June 28 - July 13, 2004 |
| |
| The two week itinerary in Japan includes time in Tokyo, Hiroshima,
Kyoto, and Nagoya; meetings with government officials, educators,
and business people; visits to elementary and secondary schools;
discussions with educational authorities, teachers, and students;
tours of major industrial and corporate facilities; meetings
with key business leaders; and a home stay with a Japanese family. |
| |
| Highlights |
| |
| The fellowship covers air transportation from the fellow's
home city to Japan and return, as well as, accommodations, transportation
as called for by the itinerary, and some meals. Fellows have
the opportunity to enjoy Japan's scenic beauty and cultural
treasures while pursuing an understanding of the successes and
concerns of contemporary Japanese society. Roundtable discussions
between Japanese teachers and the participants, as well as,
business leaders regarding educational issues will be a key
feature of the fellowship. Educators will complete a project
of curriculum materials or educational activities related to
the theme of the fellowship to share with other educators. A
sourcebook will be published on the Internet with contributions
from each fellow. |
| |
| Eligibility |
| |
| This fellowship is only open to those who have never lived
in Japan and have not visited Japan on a similar study tour.
The demands of the itinerary are such that only individuals
physically able to travel without special assistance should
consider this fellowship. Special diets cannot be provided and
a smoke-free environment cannot be assured. Due to the nature
of the program and logistical requirements, there will be no
provisions for spouses to accompany fellows. Applicants must
have skills and experience in developing curriculum. The fellowship
is open to: |
| |
- K-12 classroom teachers of social studies, history, and
business;
- K-12 teachers of disciplines with a Japan component in
their curriculum (limited availability);
- Supervisors, specialists, and school administrators at
the district and state levels; and
- Faculty associated with 4 year colleges who are directly
concerned with the training of K-12 grade level
|
