Each year, NCTA supports online and in-person courses and programs ranging in length from one to 40 hours. Formats include seminars, book groups, workshops, webinars, and summer institutes. Most of our online courses are open to teachers nationally. NCTA鈥檚 interactive online format, integrating live discussions with asynchronous discussion boards in many cases, encourages a community of inquiry among educators who have a responsibility to teach about Asia. Participants in NCTA courses offered through TEA receive stipends, materials, and the opportunity to apply for continuing study through NCTA-sponsored study tours to China, Japan, or Korea, contingent upon annual funding. Over 70,000 teachers have participated in NCTA seminars around the country since the start of the program.
