**NOTE: Middle school is indicated in the school type for each program. In the past, some middle school teachers have found the earlier grade content more applicable, while others have found the later grade materials more relevant to their teaching. We suggest middle school teachers choose the program that best suits their needs. Due to limited supply and strong demand, each educator may only apply for ONE institute. **
These institutes are presented by the Duke University Asian/Pacific Studies Institute and the Fuqua School of Business Global K-12 Outreach Program with support from the U.S. Department of Education and Title VI.
