Asia Society has an education website that is useful for all educators who are interested in Asian Topics. You may go to: http://asiasociety.org/education-learning. At the top you find several topics- Policy and Politics, Arts and Culture, Business and Economics, Education and Learning, Countries and History, Style and Living, and Events Calendar. On the left hand side there are several links about Education and Learning. You will find Partnership for Global Learning, School Models, Afterschool, World Languages, Policy Initiatives, Learning with the World, Resources for Schools, For Students, International Studies Schools Network (ISSN) and Chinese Language Initiatives.
This is an important website for my staff and students at International Studies Learning Center because we are one of the three original, now 27 similar schools in the nation. In fact, "s[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]ince 2003, Asia Society has worked in partnership with school districts and charter authorities to create the ISSN. The network currently includes 27 schools in urban and rural communities across the United States. 85% of all students are minorities, and 74% are from low-income families."[/font]
