The Russian Far East:
Problems and Prospects
Arkansas Conference on Teaching
Each November, the Arkansas Conference on Teaching is held in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is at that conference that participants of the Russian Far East Short-term Seminar presented information they gathered and learned while in the Russian Far East. This year, we had a two-hour session where we presented information on topics you can find at other locations on this site. This page contains photographs of those who presented. Our session was very well attended with about 40 teachers and pre-service teachers present.
