Current Event Lectures
International Studies Institute for Middle and High School TeachersThe annual International Studies Institute for secondary teachers is a unique opportunity for teachers to study directly with Cornell scholars about global issues. The content of the day-long workshops is aligned with New York State curriculum standards and is designed to provide information and resources that teachers can apply immediately in the classroom. Cornell professors and graduate students affiliated with the Institute for African Development and European, Latin American and Asian area studies programs offer fascinating presentations and discussions on historical and current issues. The sponsoring programs also provide handouts of resource lists, primary documents, maps and other materials for teachers to use with their students.

These informal lectures were created to help teachers decode current issues affecting Africa. The lectures cover all levels and fields from elementary to high school and from English to social studies. The topics focus on events in the news, primarily, but can also include other cross-disciplinary analysis.
