California K-12 Teachers
CREEES sponsors several outreach projects specifically intended for California K-12 teachers.
ANNUAL CREEES/SPICE K-12 TEACHERS' WORKSHOP
In conjunction with the
Stanford Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education (SPICE) we
hold an annual teachers' workshop 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
April 2008 Bert Patenaude (Hoover Institution) and Kathryn Stoner-Weiss
(Center for Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law) spoke to teachers
about Russian/Soviet Leaders. Gary Mukai, SPICE director, led a discussion
devoted to classroom pedagogy. Send us an email to request joining our teachers' email list

CREEES maintains a sizeable collection of
documentary films, appropriate for classroom use, on a range of
topics in Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies. Send us an email

STANFORD/FT ROSS INITIATIVE
CREEES sponsors a limited number of school visits to the
Russian colonial settlement in Ft. Ross, California in
an effort to support extra-curricular enhancements of school curricula in
California and Russian history, Russian language studies, or other relevant
courses. CREEES can also arrange for
lectures on Russian and California history on the Stanford campus to
supplement a school visit to Ft. Ross. Send us an email message if you are
interested in learning more about this program.
