June 1, 2024 | AYR is a proud sponsor of the 1990 Institute‘s second 2024 teachers workshop, “U.S.-China Relations: Untangling Campaign Rhetoric & Understanding Policy”! This workshop is designed to meet the needs of middle and high school educators who wish to deepen their understanding of US-China relations, distinguish between political rhetoric and actual policies, and integrate this knowledge into their teaching. Attendees will enhance their ability to promote critical thinking, understand policy implications, expand their knowledge of U.S.-China relations, and build media literacy. The workshop is open to middle and high school teachers, as well as all lifelong learners.  This is an important subject not only during the election cycle but also to understand from a global perspective.
