CES actively engages with K-12 teachers and students to provide classroom resources and training in European Studies. The Center organizes classroom visits, training workshops and seminars for teachers, and the annual Language Teacher Summer Institute.
Programs
Educators in Residence
The Educators-in-Residence (EnR) program provides K-12 teachers the opportunity to expand their knowledge of contemporary European Studies topics, transfer that knowledge to the precollegiate curriculum, and network and collaborate with other educators across the country. During the program, teachers will study contemporary Europe from a variety of disciplines and receive assistance in developing lesson plans and course modules, including access to UF online resources.
Language Teacher Summer Institute (LTSI)
The Center offers a variety of opportunities to receive in-service credit while learning about the latest technologies available for language teachers.
Euro Book Club
The Center for European Studies Educators’ Euro Book Club is a professional development and discussion program for middle and high school educators. Led by an expert in the book topic, the Book Club will meet monthly to discuss that month’s book. Educators have the opportunity to create lesson plans related to a book for compensation.
