Impact Awards Summer Series: Teaching East Asia through Picture Books
Thursday, August 6, 2026 11am
(Virtual event)
In this session from Campus Compact's Impact Awards Summer Series , Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder's own Lynn Kalinauskas (Director of the Program for Teaching East Asia) will present on the award-winning Teaching East Asia through Picture Books program.
Spanning three years to date (2024-2026), the program trains Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ students as interns who develop research and teaching skills, commitment to global education, cultural diversity and civic mindedness through service. Each Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØstudent works on a picture book that focuses on a specific region of East Asia and a theme (natural sciences in 2024, geography in 2025 and biography in 2026). Mentored by staff from the Program for Teaching East Asia, the interns conduct research, develop a lesson and activity based on their book and practice the needed skills to work with young students across Colorado.
