The U.S. and Iran: An Institute for Teachers

April 11, 2008
Brown University, Providence, RI


The Choices Program is offering a one-day institute for secondary level teachers. Please join the Choices Program and scholars from Brown University as we explore the history of Iranian-U.S. relations, look at the evolution of their acrimonious relationship, and consider the current issues surrounding Iran's nuclear program.

While in attendance at Brown University’s Watson Institute for International Studies, participating teachers will learn from leading scholars in the field as well as experts in social studies pedagogy. Working collaboratively, teachers will also have opportunities to share curriculum ideas with other dedicated and innovative teachers.
