Everyone’s heard of “three R’s” of education: reading, ’riting and ’rithmetic.

A grant from the German Embassy in Washington, D.C. is helping the College of Education and Human Sciences shine a light on German immigration issues Oct. 22-26. German Week events are free and open to the public. The Department of Teaching, Learning and Teacher Education (TLTE) is hosting the week. Ali Moeller, TLTE professor, and Jim Benes, CEHS global exchange coordinator, have planned and organized the activities.

Events are planned each day that feature how Germany is integrating immigrants. A listing of events is below and also on the CEHS Calendar of Events.
