The East Asian Studies Center (EASC) at The Ohio State University offers resources and teacher training seminars to help K-12 educators incorporate aspects of East Asia into their curriculum. Formats and topics vary by year. Examples of our programs can be found at the link below. Through EASC teacher training programs, participants develop lesson plans on China, Japan, Korea and East Asia across numerous categories, including art and architecture, culture, economics, education, general, geography, history, language, literature, politics and religion. Resource guides are created for various EASC teacher training programs to provide additional information and materials for participants regarding the content of the seminar. These lesson plans and resource guides are also available for educator use worldwide and can be found at the link below.
