The Tibet Education Network (TEN)
Developed by Founder and Director of Tibet
Education Network, Jonathan Garfunkel, M.A.Ed.
We offer classes, curriculum and resources
for K-12 on Tibet Education
Tibet Education Network (TEN) at Global Source
is a unique, independent educational outreach project that
fosters and supports the study of Tibet in elementary, secondary
and community-based education. Since 1994, TEN has been building
bridges between the world of education and the world of Tibet
and between classrooms and communities.
TEN helps
educators and students frame the study of Tibet to meet their
teaching and learning objectives, and works across disciplines,
standards, and settings. TEN approaches the study of Tibet
as model for global, social and cultural education, bridging
community and classroom with authentic voices from broad base
of source material representing multiple perspectives and
curricular avenues.
Through teacher education programs and development of curricular,
resource, and library materials, TEN has served thousands
of educators in North America.
TEN works with a wide range of organizations
and institutions to create authentic, inclusive, and educational
programs of the highest quality. Our programs feature a myriad
of leaders, scholars, experts, tradition bearers and members
of local Tibetan communities. They provide participants with
an integrated and interdisciplinary series of curricular ideas,
a starter library of teaching materials, and a broad network
of resources. The work of TEN has been acclaimed by leading
scholars, expert, and practitioners in the fields of education
and Tibet. In 1998, Tibet Education Network received the Human
Rights Day Award from the Seattle Chapter of the United Nations
Association.
