Teaching Brazil: Expanding Perspectives on
Colonial History
K-12 Educator Institute in Brazil 2018
K-12 Educator Institute in Brazil 2018
Salvador, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Brazil | July 7 – July 17, 2018
The centers for Latin American Studies at Tulane
University, Vanderbilt University, with support from The University of Georgia
will take K-12 educators in various disciplines to Brazil. The institute will
approach Brazilian culture from a multidisciplinary perspective focused on
colonialization. The trip will include a pre-departure orientation and two
weeks of overseas travel. The institute will explore the cities of Salvador,
Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo to focus on their respective role in colonial history.
Innovative programming and annual summer teacher
institutes over the past five years by the three institutes provide the
benefits of an interdisciplinary approach to teaching and studying the region.
Taking advantage of each institution’s strength, the institute equips teachers
with multidisciplinary content, curricular resources, and methods of inquiry
for deploying that approach themselves in their K-12 classrooms, creating a
model that is generative of innovative approaches to K-12 education more broadly.
Objectives of the institute are to:
- Advance and disseminate knowledge of Brazil by
providing opportunities fro K-12 educators to experience first-hand the
history, politics, language, and culture of Brazil;
- Provide introductory Portuguese language training that
emphasizes regional linguistic variations;
- Contribute to the development of internationalizing
curriculum that accurately and effectively brings Brazil into the
classroom through standards-based approaches.
