K-12 Teachers Program

The Center for South Asia Studies, along with the other Title VI-funded area studies centers at UC Berkeley, assists in the development of K-12 teacher education programs intended to support the activities of California teachers who strive to integrate international content into the curriculum. These efforts are coordinated through the Office of Resources for International and Area Studies (ORIAS), which is the joint outreach program of International and Area Studies (IAS).
