Minnesota Chinese Language Teachers Meeting

October 15, 2009, 1:00-4:00 p.m.

Chinese teachers from Minnesota’s public and private K–12 schools are invited to attend the annual Minnesota Chinese Language Teachers Meeting. Come and learn about programs and resources provided by the Confucius Institute and the Hanban. Join professional development breakout sessions on timely and useful topics.

All participants will be asked to join the conversation. How can you help improve Chinese language instruction across the state? Can you demonstrate a lesson or game? Will you share a song or rhyme? What special techniques have worked in your classroom? This will be a working workshop, so come prepared to participate. Register soon, as space is limited.
