Dear K-12 Educators:
On behalf of the African Studies Center (ASC) and
the Middle East Studies Center (MEC), we want to thank
you for your interest in the 2005 Summer Institute
on Africa and the Arab World. We received eighty four
applications, from teachers of different grades who
represent various schools in the tri-state area and
beyond. In rating the application, we relied on the
following criteria: grade level, experience, benefit
to be gained from attendance, and diversity.
Even with all this in mind, it was not easy for
us to come up with a short list of sixteen teachers.
There are many outstanding applications, but we
came to a close consensus on those whom we selected.
Had we have more money in our budget, we could have
accommodated more than twice the number we have
selected based upon the same criteria.
ASC and MEC are national resource centers federally
mandated to support outreach activities for K-12
schools. We look forward to providing more professional
development opportunities that will benefit more
teachers in our region, and your application to
attend this workshop has strengthened our case for
future programs. We welcome those who were selected,
and we wish all applicants all the best in their
plans for the summer, and we look forward to have
you in our upcoming workshops that we will offer
the next academic year.
With Regards,
Ali Dinar, ASC
Kathy Spillman, MEC
