Summit on US/China K-12 Education: Global Collaborations and Partnerships

A Summit on US/China K-12 Education was held at the Friday Institute in May 2008 to enable educators, policy makers, and business leaders attended to learn why US/China collaborations are important for creating a globally educated citizenry and work force. National speakers addressed the value of US/China K-12 partnerships and described effective policies and programs that support global learning. North Carolina educators described current collaborations and partnerships, shared best practices, and offered opportunities to establish new partnerships with Chinese educators. A highlight of the day was the signing of the MOU between the NC BOE and the Jiangsu provincial department of education.
