VIRTUAL Teacher-Made: A Hands-On Workshop for Educators

This VIRTUAL workshop is designed to introduce K-12 educators across all subject areas to the Chinese Garden (“Liu Fang Yuan”). It was created by teachers, for teachers. Participants will learn ways to incorporate these unique cultural assets into their curriculum, enriching student engagement and promoting cultural literacy across subjects like history, literature, art, science, and language. This experience will include contact hours and offer a full curriculum package centered on the cultural and educational potential of Chinese gardens.

This workshop is presented in collaboration with The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, with sponsorship from the Polytechnic School, Harvard-Westlake School, and the USC U.S.-China Institute. Special thanks to the Chinese Language Teachers Association of Southern California (CLTA-SC) for their support in promoting this event to the community. Offered in partnership with the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia and with support from the Freeman Foundation, this workshop is designed to enhance teaching about Asia.
