Bringing Korea into the Classroom
 

Teacher workshop held June 7-8 on The Ohio State University (OSU) campus offered 6-12th grade Ohio teachers a chance to learn about Korea, enabling them to create lesson plans for use in the classroom. This workshop was made possible with funding from the Korea Foundation and the U.S. Department of Education Title VI funds for the East Asian Studies Center at OSU and was coordinated by Prof. Mitchell Lerner, Director of the Institute for Korean Studies (OSU).  Prof. Mark Peterson, Brigham Young University, led the workshop, with lectures also made by Prof. Mitch Lerner, The Ohio State University and Zachary Matusheski, The Ohio State University. 

Topics included:  

Korean food was enjoyed at lunch each day.  A lesson plan workshop was led by Jeremy Hopping, Granville High School.  26 teachers attended the 2-day workshop and will be working on lesson plans over the summer to use in the next academic year. Lesson plans will be posted on the EASC website and available for use.
