Information for Teachers

Phila-Nipponica

For the last decade the University of Pennsylvania with the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia has partnered with the US–Japan Foundation in the Phila-Nipponica Project, preparing educators in our area's schools to convey knowledge and understanding of Japan to their students and colleagues. We have prepared more than 130 teachers in the Phila-Nipponica project with seminars conducted by Penn faculty and a faculty-led study-tour of Japan.

Professional Development

International Summer Institute

Each summer, CEAS, in partnership with the three other National Resource Centers at Penn (South Asia, Middle East, Africa), offer a week-long teacher development seminar. Each year we choose a topic that is relevant to all of these regions and then provide teachers with the knowledge and tools to bring this topic into the classroom.

Other Opportunities

Various other professional development opportunites are offered throughout the year. Please check the Events section of the website and sign-up for our newsletter to hear about these opportunities.
