International Studies Summer Institute
For K–12 Educators
The International Studies Summer Institute (ISSI) is a professional development workshop for practicing and pre-service K–12 teachers held each summer on the Cornell campus. The workshop will give you practical strategies and resources for integrating international studies and world religions into your classroom. Each year, ISSI has a new international theme, such as global arts education.
ISSI is designed for elementary, middle, and high school teachers from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds. New York State teachers can obtain continuing education credits upon completing a lesson plan that incorporates content from the workshop.
ISSI 2024: July 9 (9:00–4:30)
Explore plant and animal migration with faculty and postdoctoral fellows from the Einaudi Center and Syracuse University. Find out more about this cross-curricular workshop for K-12 educators.

We seek projects that engage with Latin America & the Caribbean, South Asia, Southeast Asia, or sub-Saharan Africa. Projects may include a new course, a new unit for an existing course, or a service learning component to an existing course that encourages the exchange of diverse perspectives. Faculty, adjunct faculty, lecturers, instructors, and librarians are welcome to apply.
