Summer Institute for teachers will follow the trail of medieval travelers like Ibn Battuta, Marco Polo and Zheng He as these intrepid adventurers cross the borders of cultural regions spreading goods, culture, science and religion. Join us for an exploration of world history from the perspective of cultural interaction. The format will be a combination of lectures by University scholars, an introduction to resources at the University and on the World Wide Web, and guided working sessions for teachers to discuss and develop curriculum materials for the middle and high school classroom.
Admission is free and open to all teachers.
Two continuing education credits can be arranged through UC Berkeley Summer Sessions for which a limited number of scholarships are available. The program is limited to 40 participants . The registration deadline is June 7th.
