In addition to the many resources provided at this web site, there are schools and school districts who want their teachers to receive additional training and support in the CultureQuest process. Generally, this training includes one or more of the following:

• working with teachers on approaches to and issues in the study of culture
• strengthening teachers technology skills and
• developing a deeper understanding of inquiry-based, project-centered classroom work

The Center for School Development also is developing an online, three-credit graduate course for teachers under the auspices of the City College, School of Education. Teachers who register for this course will be taken through their first classroom CultureQuest and mentored through each of the steps of the program. If you are interested in learning more about the course, please contact Dr. Sheila Gersh sgersh@ccny.cuny.edu.

• For information about workshops in your school or district

The Center provided a 3-hour orientation about CultureQuest at the Samsung Center in January. A follow-up hands- on session was held in February for these teachers. They are now implementing CultureQuest into the curriculum.

If you are interested in attending an orientation or workshop, please contact Dr. Norman Shapiro at nshapiro@ccny.cuny.edu
