The article at the link below offers some unique ideas about infusing China into the curriculum with emphasis on the importance of understanding its culture, language, and history. Clearly, more teachers are recognizing the significant role China of in globalization. I particularly like the ideas for teaching Tai Chi in P.E., and Chinese and Asian History instead of geography. Even the Art class at this school covers Chinese dragons. The student response to the China curriculum is overwhelming as evidenced by the long waiting list.
