The course will take place from 10 AM to 12 PM in the Ethics Classroom of Leggett Hall. Required Student Equipment is BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) - participants will need a computer or an e-reader of some kind to read documents used in the course. Please Note: This course will be video recorded to be used as a MOOC (a Massive Open Online Course).

Career teachers looking for a more cultural offering can consider the Hall of Worthies (JipHyunJun) Workshop on Korean History and Culture, taking place this summer 2015. Building on the relationship with Sejong Cultural Education, Inc. with whom D-E has partnered for the past few summers on summer culture trips for students and faculty - the Hall of Worthies Workshop will provide educators with comprehensive and experiential knowledge to develop inclusive teaching methods that recognize the worthiness of every child.

This five-day summer seminar will be held July 20-24, 2015, and provide both scholastic and hands-on experiences of Korea. Past and present history, religion, philosophy, art, music, film, literature, economic and political development, and food will be woven into the lectures and presentations of prominent scholars, artists, authors, and community leaders. Teachers will create their own lessons and network in response to the Common Core needs of their subject areas. The workshop, for K-12 teachers in public and private schools, promises to be open-ended, providing participants with the opportunity to learn and share with one another. Participants will explore the following areas: 

• History and culture of traditional Korea 
• Relationship between modern Korea and the US 
• Rise of Korean political and economic power in the 21st century
• Cross-cultural understanding of the diversity of the United States
• Human rights issues associated with Korea's past and present state 

The five-day schedule, from July 20-24, 2015, begins at 8:30, with lunch at 11:30, and the day ends at 3:00.
