2007: Bringing the World to New England’s Classrooms
We are witnessing a rapid increase of interest in global education. A consensus is developing among educators, business leaders and policy-makers that America needs our students to become competent global citizens. Public opinion polls, state mandates, and even recent presidential debates have highlighted the need to prepare students for the interconnected world of the 21st century. For almost twenty years, Primary Source has responded to this challenge by educating teachers who are shaping the next generation’s worldview—inspiring K-12 students to learn and care about other cultures, respect other viewpoints, and become critical thinkers in the global arena. A new generation is entering a global realm where the world is getting smaller, more interdependent, and increasingly more complicated. Primary Source’s vital, unique, and timely programs for educators support the sophisticated teaching and learning needed to address the demands of a global age. Our courses and study tours transform teachers’ understanding of other cultures, helping to develop 21st century classrooms infused with global content and a more nuanced worldview. This report illustrates ways that we have partnered with schools and districts throughout New England in 2007. This year, we provided graduate courses, study tours, and in-school workshops to nearly 1800 teachers, who in turn have reached more than 150,000 students. We are pleased to share the results of a successful year, including the launch of our Latin America program; our partnership with the Lowell Public Schools to provide programming on Vietnam and Cambodia; six study tours that brought teachers to China, Japan, and Ghana; and our receipt of the Goldman Sachs Award for Excellence in International Education on behalf of the state of Massachusetts. Through these stories, I hope you gain insight into how Primary Source has been both innovative and responsive to the changing demographics of New England schools and their students. We are deeply grateful to our donors for sup-porting this work, which has enabled many teachers and students to reach across great cultural divides to embrace other peoples and cultures. I invite you to enter the world of Primary Source through this Annual Report—to experience our work, and feel the profound difference your interest and support makes in today’s K-12 classrooms.

Responding to Student and Community NeedsLowell, Massachusetts is home to the second largest Cambodian community in the United States. Students of Southeast Asian descent represent twenty-nine percent of the Lowell Public Schools population. Yet they and their fellow students are not systematically exposed to curriculum that incorporates their home culture and the Cambodian immigrant experience in the United States.

Students at the Charlotte M. Murkland Elementary School in Lowell celebrate Cambodian New Year with a dance performance.
In order to address the needs of all Lowell students, Primary Source has launched a unique partnership with the Lowell Public Schools to provide programming for teachers on Cambodia and Vietnam, beginning with a spring 2007 seminar series. Primary Source’s programs have provided an interdisciplin-ary approach to the region’s rich history and culture and have encouraged educa-tors to expand their thinking beyond the Vietnam War era. Participating teachers have already brought their newfound knowledge of Southeast Asia into classrooms across Lowell. Deborah Romeo, a language arts and social studies teacher at the E.N. Rogers Middle School, led her seventh graders in an exploration of Cambo-dia through the voices of Cambodian Americans. The students, many of whom are immigrants themselves, interviewed elders in their community about their lives and experiences. “One of the chal-lenges of teaching about Cambodia,” says Romeo, “is to be sure that students understand that Cambodian history and culture are comprised of more than the
atrocities of the Khmer Rouge. I don’t think I would have foreseen this prob-lem if we hadn’t discussed it within the Primary Source course. As a result of the discussion, my unit included con-sistent reflection on what we know now about Cambodian history and culture and revision of some of the kids’ origi-nal thinking.” Romeo also worked with fellow Rogers teacher Kevin Freeman to connect their students to student pen pals in Cambodia through a Peace Corps volunteer. Carol Allen, who teaches English as a Second Language courses at Lowell High School, has also been able to incor-porate the details she learned in Primary Source’s programs into her teaching. “Before taking the summer class on Cambodia and Vietnam, I had very little knowledge about these cultures,” Allen notes. “Now, however, I feel much more comfortable alluding to their geography, history, language, or customs. This course has opened up a whole new avenue of communication between my students and me.”

“Primary Source’s programs have offered the opportunity for teachers to learn about their students’ backgrounds. They’ve become more sensitive to the culture of the students, and their needs -— that’s something we’re missing in the system.” Phala Chea, Director, Parent Information Center, Lowell Public Schools

Connecting Teachers and Students to the WorldTravel has the potential to transform one’s understanding of the world. For more than ten years, Primary Source has brought teachers on study tours to China, where they have developed an apprecia-tion for the country’s modern life and ancient history. As the organization has grown, opportunities to connect educa-tors to people and cultures throughout the world have also expanded. In 2007, teachers traveled with Primary Source to China, Japan, and Ghana, and ex-plored African-American history in New England and New York. One journey, the City and Village in Modern China tour, il-lustrates the profound impact of educa-tional travel. The City and Village tour, led by Primary Source Maine Director Ryan Bradeen, explored the wide disparities in
levels of education, economic develop-ment, and opportunity between urban and rural China. These disparities, as the nineteen teachers on the tour discovered, are at the root of many contemporary struggles within the country including rural migration, environmental degrada-tion, and social unrest. In addition to visiting the economic and political powerhouses of Shanghai and Beijing, teachers lived for four days in the Huang Village of Anhui Province. Huang Village is known internation-ally as the home of the Peabody Essex Museum’s Yin Yu Tang house. The group experienced this village’s distinctive culture by living in rural guesthouses with humble facilities, exploring in and around the village, and working in the fields of local farmers.

Why Do U.S. Students Need to
Learn About China?
China’s economy is quickly becoming one of the largest
in the world, and its financial future is closely tied to that
of the United States. Business leaders are looking for U.S.
students with the knowledge and skills to thrive in a global
economy in which China is assuming a leading role. Bill
Judy, Regional Manager for AIG WorldSource, offers a job
posting for the not-too-distant future that illustrates the
new demand for globally competent graduates:
“Applicant must speak Mandarin and be willing to travel.
Knowledge of global economics and international mar-
keting essential. Must be able to interact effectively and
lead a multi-cultural team. Excellent presentation skills
necessary. Absolutely must have knowledge of mobile
technology.”
Through school partnerships and high quality teacher
education programs, Primary Source works to ensure that
students develop a deep understanding of China’s history,
culture, and people.
www.primarysource.org
Primary Source ensures that students are well educated about international geography, peoples, cultures, and languages so that they may thrive in our changing nation and world. Through partnerships with schools, Primary Source provides teachers with the resources they need to incorporate international perspectives into the classroom. In 2007, Primary Source’s partner schools and school districts throughout New England have worked to expand students’ understanding of the world through a variety of innovative projects.
