ANNUAL CREEES/SPICE K-12 TEACHERS' WORKSHOP
In conjunction with the Stanford Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education (SPICE) we hold teachers' workshops on the Stanford campus that brings experts in Russian, East European and Eurasian studies to meet with K-12 teachers to discuss a topic relevant to REEES area studies and school curricula.

In May 2010, our teacher workshop was devoted to the topic of a newly produced SPICE curricular unit: The Baltic States: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. All teachers received complementary copies of the new curricular unit and one other SPICE unit. Local professors and Stanford senior researchers spoke at the conference, and SPICE staff will conduct pedagogic workshops with the new unit. More information is available in the autumn 2010 issue of our Center's newsletter.
