LATTICE

Linking All Types of Teachers to International Cross-cultural Education

Developed in 1995 as an international education partnership, LATTICE links six school districts in mid-Michigan with international graduate students/scholars at Michigan State University. LATTICE concentrates on adult learning and promotes practical links to K-12 classrooms. LATTICE members meet for presentations, discussions, food, and music. Topics range from the personal to the global, from "What is home?" to "What is world hunger?" LATTICE does not deliver cursory information about countries, but involves dynamic interaction on issues that concern educators throughout the world

The mission of LATTICE is to assure a global perspective in K-12 classrooms by providing a unique and dynamic professional development experience for educators.
