National Consortium for Teaching of Asia (NCTA)
  The National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA), funded by the Freeman Foundation, is a multi-year initiative to encourage and facilitate teaching and learning about Asia in world history, geography, social studies, and literature courses.

Launched in October 1998, this nationwide program is a collaboration of the East Asian Studies programs of five national institutions -- the University of Washington, the University of Colorado, Indiana University, Columbia University, and the Five College Center for East Asian Studies.

Since its inception NCTA has established introductory seminars for teachers in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Under the direction of our Title VI partner institution Indiana University EAPS has hosted two NCTA seminars: Spring 2006, taught by Ken Klinkner, and Spring 2007, taught by Anne Prescott.
