Japan Fellowship
Manoa Education Associate Suzanne Acord is one of 20 teachers from the U.S. and Canada selected for an 11-day study tour of Japan. She teaches 10th grade world history at the UH Laboratory School.
The fellowship will enable teachers to learn first-hand about contemporary Japanese society in order to enhance their classroom teaching of global perspectives. Acord submitted a letter of support from the school; a letter explaining her desire to participate; and a lesson plan, utilizing the knowledge she gains from the experience, which she will teach upon her return.
“Our section seeks to create quality curriculum materials on Asia and the Pacific. I have worked as part of a team on three curriculum projects involving historical and contemporary Japan, but this will be my first time gaining practical experience in Japan,” says Acord.
