We conduct workshops to assist Indiana high school teachers with course content related to the standards for the new Indiana Geography and History of the World course http://doe.state.in.us/standards/docs-SocialStudies/2006-SS-GeogHistory.pdf.
 
Coordinated by Indiana University’s Center for Social Studies and International Education (CSSIE), http://www.indiana.edu/~ssdc/, these workshops are offered in collaboration with four other IU area studies centers:

• Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (http://www.indiana.edu/~clacs/)
• East Asian Studies Center

(http://www.indiana.edu/~easc/)

• Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center (http://www.indiana.edu/~iaunrc/site/index.html)
• Russian and East European Institute

The workshops are free to participating teachers and materials in support of each presentation are made available free of charge.  A curriculum specialist is also on hand to provide advice on translating workshop content into course modules. 

Interested teachers are eligible for funds to hire a substitute teacher for the day of the workshop.
