 | | An estimated 16,000 Wisconsin students will learn about the language, geography, history, culture, and daily life in contemporary Japan this fall from Japanese teachers visiting their schools as part of the Japan-Wisconsin Education Connection. |
 | | The DPI and Wisconsin Education Association Professional Development Academy have had an exchange program with Japan since 1997, funded by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology. |
 | | The Japanese Ministry has sent 147 teachers to Wisconsin during those 11 years to learn how Wisconsin schools meet the needs of diverse student populations, how schools use new technologies, how the curriculum is designed and tested, and how Wisconsin families live. |
