Looking for summer work?

LEARN NC is seeking teachers to write a second round of innovative lesson plans that use multimedia to teach world history, culture, literature, and religion. We’ll provide the multimedia; you provide the teaching ideas, and we’ll pay you for your time.

Over the past two years we have built a collection of photographs and audio recordings from various countries in Asia and Latin America, and we’ve built slideshows around some of these photographs, as well, including a retelling of the Ramayana.

To make these resources more useful to teachers, we want to build instructional resources that integrate them into North Carolina’s curriculum. We’re looking for detailed instructional plans that make innovative and meaningful use of the media to promote students’ understanding of other cultures. The plans can address any curriculum area, not just social studies. (Science, anyone?)

If you’re interested, please contact us and tell us your ideas for using our media resources for global education. If we accept your application, we’ll ask you to complete the lesson plan(s) by August 31, and we’ll pay $500 for each completed lesson plan.
