welcome

Educators for Teaching India (EFTI) presented "Why Teach India?
Incorporating India into Secondary Curricula" on April 3rd, 2009 at the
South Asia Institute at Harvard University. Over 90 educators from across
the country attended this first of its kind conference. After an
informative and inspiring keynote address by Tarun Khanna, professor at
Harvard Business School, participants attended workshops given by scholars
of India and by teachers who successfully incorporate India into their
curricula. Workshops focused on topics in the arts, literature, history,
religion/philosophy, economics and service-learning. In the final session,
participants brainstormed ideas for how EFTI can move forward with
programming in the upcoming year. We hope to see all of the conference
participants and other educators at future EFTI events.
