The Chinese Culture Box
The Institute for Chinese Studies at The Ohio State University is pleased to offer the Chinese Culture Box which can be borrowed for use in schools, libraries, and community organizations for up to two weeks. The box contains information and lessons about Chinese History, Language, Art, Culture, Toys, and Games and includes Chinese artifacts such as a puppet kit, music CD, abacus, books and Chinese chess set and more! We also have available smaller kits that contain the artifacts and information for one particular subject or activity, which may be convenient for subject-oriented lessons plans. Although materials in the box may be used for display purposes, students are welcome to handle any of the items.
The Institute for Chinese Studies will mail the box or separate kits free of charge directly to the school or organization wishing to use the items. However, they must be returned at the expense of the borrower. There are several of these boxes and kits compiled, but we encourage schools and organizations to reserve them in advance if possible.
If you are interested in borrowing any of these items, please download the Culture Box Request Form and return by fax, mail or email to The Institute for Chinese Studies, The Ohio State University, 314 Oxley Hall, 1712 Neil Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210, Fax: 614-292-4273, Email: china@osu.edu

Chinese Teacher Alternative Licensure Training at OSU and CSU
Chinese Teacher Alternative Licensure Training at OSU and CSU, 2006-2007
With funding from the Ohio Department of Education as a result of House Bill 115 of the 126 th General Assembly, The Ohio State University and Cleveland State University each provides a Chinese Teacher Alternative Licensure Training Program starting in September 2006. The tuition-free program is 12-month long (classes after work hours) and requires 36 credit hours of specially designed graduate coursework. Upon successful completion of the yearlong program, the state Praxis exam, and a background check, the trainees will be eligible for a "provisional Ohio teaching license," the same license granted through traditional teacher training.
The program at the OSU College of Education and Human Ecology has 26 trainees taught by a team headed by Dr. Charles Hancock. For more information about the program, including admission policy and required courses, please go to the brochure by OSU and ESC of Franklin County.
