Teachers in Action During the COVID-19 Crisis

Check out Asia Society's Teaching Resources Hub, where our China Learning Initiatives team is curating an evolving roundup of resources, tools, and perspectives to help educators succeed in this challenging time. Hear what Chinese language teachers in Kentucky, Ohio, and California are doing to meet the needs of their learning communities – remotely; find perspectives on countering coronavirus stigmas and racism; and access professional development built to support you.

Don't forget: You can always find teaching inspiration from our TEQ video seriesCELIN Briefs, and more. We would like to continue hearing from you! Feel free to share best practices, resources, and activities that the community can use for their online instruction. Please reach out to us at chinese@asiasociety.org. We will share this content on our website and across our community.
