From Our Classroom To Yours: That's Lama with One 'L': Exploring Tibetan Buddhism in the Social Studies Classroom

From Our Classrooms to Yours:

“That's Lama with One 'L': Exploring Tibetan Buddhism in the Social Studies Classroom” 

 Stephanie Rizas (November 16; 7:00-9:00 p.m. EST) 

 

Are you curious about Tibetan Buddhism and how it can be incorporated in the classroom? This presentation is for you! We will discuss the basic tenets of Tibetan Buddhism with a focus on some of the more unique aspects of its believers: the use of the mandala, khora, and the role of reincarnation. We will discuss and use clips from various films, including Unmistaken Child, Kundun, and Seven Years in Tibet. We will discuss the political role of the Dalai Lama and the future of Tibetan Buddhism in modern China as well. Prepare to learn, to meditate, and to admire the beauty of Tibetan Buddhism!  

 

Stephanie Rizas teaches IB History and East Asian History to 11th and 12th graders in Montgomery County, Maryland. She is a passionate proponent of inclusive curriculum and pedagogy and spends time at school both planning engaging lessons and supporting inclusive initiatives and student clubs. Outside of school, Stephanie enjoys traveling the world - most recently with a trip to Tibet and Nepal with fellow NCTA teachers. She lives outside of Washington, DC with her husband and two children.
