These visits are available free of charge to a limited number of classrooms in central North Carolina. You are invited to apply for one of these visits as a school team. This is slightly different from previous years, and is intended to ensure that all teachers at a given school receiving a visit are planning to constructively incorporate the visit into their teaching - to expand units about East Asia and/or make cross-curricular connections.
